Hi there
When I put this formating to the value of TextBoxs,


Code:
--------------------
Gtot.Value = Format(Gtot.Value, "#,##0.000")
tot.Value = Format(tot.Value, "#,##0.000")
bal.Value = Format(bal.Value, "#,##0.000")
--------------------


Then the result of this line is always 1 or not correct

Code:
--------------------
bal.Value = val(Gtot.Value) - val(tot.Value)
--------------------


How can get the correct result out of equation ?

from the immediate window:
? val("10,000")
10
? cdbl("10,000")
10000

so you might want to use cdbl instead of Val.

You don't say where these objects are, but I tried textboxes on a userform
and it worked okay. What are the objects?

Thank u very much indeed..........

cdbl solved the problem and i now understand the difference between

val(10000) with format TextBox1.Value = Format(TextBox1.Value,
"#,##0.000")
appears as 10

and

CDbl(10000) with format TextBox1.Value = Format(TextBox1.Value,
"#,##0.000")
appears as 10,000.000
