I have a message box in VBA which displays the variable "cash". I am using the "currency" format as below:

cash = Format(cash, "currency")

The problem is that if the amount goes over £10000 it does not put a comma after the first zero (£10,000) to make it clearer to read. I have tried every combination of #,0 etc to make a custom format but it still does not
show a comma after the first zero.

Any ideas.
 
Further to this, it is something to do with displaying more than one variable within the message box. When I display the "cash" value on its own within the message box it displays correctly with a comma after the zero. I cannot understand why two "vbnewline" and three " &" would cause it to display wrong.

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Did you make the change I suggested?
