number format
Hi
I am trying to enter data onto a worksheet from a slide bar on a userform. I need the number to be in a 5 character format i.e. if 5 is entered 00005 is displayed. I can do this by formating to a zip code. The problem occurs when I save as a text file, 00005 becomes 5 again. Is there some code I could write which changes 5 to 00005? Thanks Jo |

You need to set a custom format. Select cells, right click, format cells, number, custom. In the "type" box eneter 0000# that will give you the format you are looking for........ -----Original Message----- Hi I am trying to enter data onto a worksheet from a slide bar on a userform.
