How do I convert a field in pence (12345) into currency so that it comes up
as £123.45? I know I could create a new field and divide by 100 but the
users will not be able to do that on their own from now on.

Thanks

With VBA.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .Column = 1 Then
.Value = .Value / 100
.NumberFormat = "£#,##0.00"
End If
End With

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
