Displaying whole numbers with 2 decimal places

Hi all,

I am making a programm that uses currencies and i want my whole numbers to display with two decimals. For example if you have 20 dollar left I want it to show as 20.00 instead of just 20 ( or 15.50 instead of 15.5) .I suppose it is really easy to do, however the things i found don't seem to work for vb6

I hope you understand what I mean. i am using vb6 by the way,

Thanks

Love Linda

You have to use the format function. Example:

Dim num As Single
num = "12.2"
MsgBox Format(num, "0.00")

If your using basic just The following code

Code:

Math.Round(application, 2)

here application is the item you want rounded. though you'll have to do your equation earliar in the line.

Or you can just use this

Code:

Format(payment, "Currency")

Payment is the application to turn to currency.
Hope that helps!

I tried the method suggested by bytelogik and that worked like a charm

Thanks you both for the help

Much Love,

I'm not sure but I think there is a difference between 0.00 and #.##

Format(var,"#.##")

I think 0.00 will always append 0.00 to the end, though I am not sure.
