    Launching a dataform using a macro changes the currency settings of a calculated cell

    Using Excel 2010

    I have a spreadsheet with a variety of different fields, one of which is a calculated currency field (20% of a price). This is formatted to Currency £ 2d.p. I am using the default dataform to add and edit data to the spreadsheet.

    When I open the form using the form button the calculated currency field displays the amount correctly formatted.

    I then recorded a macro to open the form and assigned this to a button. Now when I open the form using the macro, the calculated field displays with $ instead of £.

    I have checked that excel settings are English. I cannot find anyway of viewing the VBA code for the default dataform. I have attached an example file.

    Book1.xlsm

    Any help greatly appreciated

    change the currency symbol in the number format to use '£ English (United Kingdom)" instead of just '£' or use
        Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "DataFormExcel"
    instead of
    activesheet.showdataform

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to
