Hi Terry,

One way, perhaps:

Dim v1, v2, v3, v4

v1 = Replace(txtadmingross.Text, "$", "")
v2 = Replace(txtGross.Text, "$", "")
v3 = Replace(txtF1.Text, "$", "")

If IsNumeric(v1) Then
v1 = CDbl(v1)
Else
v1 = 0
End If

If IsNumeric(v2) Then
v2 = CDbl(v2)
Else
v2 = 0
End If

If IsNumeric(v3) Then
v3 = CDbl(v3)
Else
v3 = 0
End If

txtadmingross.Text = Format(txtadmingross.Text, "$#,##0")
txtTotalGross.Text = Format(v1 + v2 + v3, "$#,##0")

Thank you very much Norman. That does work but it does lead to another
question - Originally in my initalize statement I had all text boxes =
empty (used also for a cmd button to clear all text boxes). In this
state when I entered my first value I would get run time error 13, type
mismatch, on the two text boxes that were empty. I changed the
initalize statement to set these 3 to zero and it works great. Is there
anyway around this? Just in terms of appearance - It might look better
if all text boxes were blank rather than some being blank and others
having zeros.
Thanks Terry

Perfect then. Thank you very much. I will give that a try this
afternoon.
Thank you very much for your help.
Terry
