    Cells formatting done without me allowing it in VBA

    Hi,
    I have 2 sheets that are used as source data. And I have a form where I import from the source sheets data. After modifications, I copy back the data in the source sheets. The problem is that cells formatted as monetary values with decimal seem to copy as text. So when I try to do automated mathematic functions in vba, it says incompatible type. And when I debug in VBA, I see that the monetary values have quotation marks in the yellow debug mode as if it was quoted as text. Is there a way to prevent this side effect?
    Thx!

    Werner

    Convert them to numbers.

    Anything stored in a textbox is a string.

    Thx for the help Tom. Finally I have found a way to solve my problem. Before importing data from the source sheet I run a macro that formats all currency values into standard values. They, by this way, become regular numbers. It then copies those values into my form and they are reconverted as currency values after that. And my math functions work after that.
