Changing the global currency symbol

Whenever I place a numeric value in a cell, it applies a currency format with the British pound sign.

Given that most of my input is in Australian dollars, I would prefer that the default is $.

How do I change this? My settings in Windows Control Panel are in Australian dollars but Excel insists in inserting the English pound sign, suggesting that my problem rests with a setting I have in Excel.

Thanks

Re: Copying data from one workbook to another using VBA

Hi

I am a newbie to VBA and struggling. I want to simply copy data from a cell in one workbook to a cell in another workbook but keep getting the error 'Run-time error 9': Subscript out of range. Can some kind soul please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have the following code in a module:

Sub CurrentBalance()
Dim WBcopy As Workbook
Dim WScopy As Worksheet

Dim WBpaste As Workbook
Dim WSpaste As Worksheet

Set WBcopy = Application.Workbooks("C:\Users\John\Documents\Spreadsheets\.....")
Set WScopy = WBcopy.Worksheets("Sheet 1")

Set WBpaste = Application.Workbooks("C:\Users\John\Documents\Spreadsheets\....")
Set WSpaste = WBpaste.Worksheets("Sheet 2")

WScopy.Range("I598").Copy
WSpaste.Range("Y2").PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
End Sub
