    You mistakenly think format is designed for 'strings'. It isn't. It also applies to numbers (including date/times).
    The result of format is always a string.

    Technically, the result of Format is a Variant with a sub-type of String. If you affix a $ sign after it, Format$, then it returns a pure String. By the way, this Variant/String result structure is true for all (at least I think it is all) the VBA String functions (such as Mid, Chr, Str, etc.) that return text values.

    Hi snb thanks for the feedback
    Actually Theodoulus decided to write it in parts....so this time he has written about Strings in future he will be writing about others.
