Hello

my user will type a number into a text box, ie 12300, i want that to display as 12,300. I can get vb to display the number like this using a masked edit control but unfortunately the alignment of the text using a masked edit is left justify, rather than right justify, Does anyone know how I can get it to show the text with a right justify, or, barring this, if i was to programme it,on which even would i call the function? =I know in ms access i could use the afterupdate event, but there doesn't seem to be one in vb.

I am using vb6

hi there.. you have other events to look up.. try with key press (you will be formating while the user enter data), lostfocus...
