Was the Format function call meant to be on the same line as your
..appendtext line? If so, then you are missing the & symbol in order to
concatenate it to the other text. If not, then the Format function has to be
used in some way (assigned to a variable, tested in an If..Then statement,
etc.)... you just have it sitting there.

.appendtext "GLOBALDL Billings = " & chr(9)
Format(Round(Sheets("Variance").Range("C3"), 0), "#,###")

message is "Expected End of Statement"

I am trying to insert a tab character into a msg line for an email
being
generated in excel, the tab function does not work, can someone supply
the
format I would need to use in the following code

.appendtext "GLOBALDL Billings = " Tab(5) &
Round(Sheets("Variance").Range("C3"), 0) & " Bookings = " & Tab(5)
Round(Sheets("Variance").Range("d3"), 0)

the tab() function is only for printing

much appreciated
