Thousand seperator in custom formats

Hi,
I am trying to popolate KPIs into a two column list field called lstDepartmentKPIs. Each KPI may have a different format.
Whilst I know the line is picking up the custom format as it's putting brackets round negative numbers, it is not putting in the thousand seperator.
Is it something I'm doing wrong.

Me.lstDepartmentKPI.AddItem "Total Turnover" & ";" & Format(.Fields("TotalTurnover"), "

Hi Paul

Thanks for the question and an easy one.

Don't use the *, use # instead.

I hope that solves your problem

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
