To convert a number (such as totA in your example), you can either use CStr() or the .ToString method of the variable.



strA = CStr(totA)

- or -

strA = totA.ToString



To format a number into a currency format, use Format().



strA = totA.ToString.Format(';{0:C}';)

- or -

strA = String.Format(';{0:C}';,CStr(totA))



{0:C} means ';as currency';, which will make 1234.56 look like $1,234.56.
