text numbers

is there a way to change numbers to text strings?

Let me explain:

I have an application that shows an invoice in a Crystal Report

I have so far the total as, for example: $ 1526.73

is there a way to get this value on the fly and create a variable that shows the text?

such as: (one thousand five hundred and twenty six 73/100)

Thanx .

I did a search of our forums for thousand and came up with a lot of hits including this thread. The code in that thread from BuggyProgrammaer looks like it works, but I haven't tested it.

This should do the job too:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Public Function ToWords(ByVal nAmount As Currency) As String
 
  Dim vSingle As Variant
  Dim vTen As Variant
  Dim sWords As String
  Dim nNew As Currency
  
  vSingle = Split("One,Two,Three,Four,Five,Six,Seven,Eight,Nine,Ten,Eleven,Twelve,Thirteen,Fourteen,Fifteen,Sixteen,Seventeen,Eighteen,Nineteen", ",")
  vTen = Split("Ten,Twenty,Thirty,Fourty,Fifty,Sixty,Seventy,Eighty,Ninety", ",")
  
  Do While (nAmount > 0)
    If nAmount > 1000000 Then
      nNew = Int(nAmount / 1000000)
      sWords = sWords & ToWords(nNew) & "MILLION, "
      nAmount = nAmount - (Int(nAmount / 1000000) * 1000000)
    ElseIf nAmount > 1000 Then
      nNew = Int(nAmount / 1000)
      sWords = sWords & ToWords(nNew) & "THOUSAND, "
      nAmount = nAmount - (Int(nAmount / 1000) * 1000)
    ElseIf nAmount > 100 Then
      nNew = Int(nAmount / 100)
      sWords = sWords & ToWords(nNew) & "HUNDRED AND "
      nAmount = nAmount - (Int(nAmount / 100) * 100)
    ElseIf nAmount > 10 Then
      nNew = Int(nAmount / 10)
      If nNew > 1 Then
        sWords = sWords & vTen(nNew - 1) & " "
      Else
        sWords = sWords & vSingle(nAmount - 1) & " "
        nAmount = 0
      End If
      nAmount = nAmount - (Int(nAmount / 10) * 10)
    ElseIf nAmount > 0 Then
      sWords = sWords & vSingle(nAmount - 1) & " "
      nAmount = 0
    End If
  Loop
  If Right(sWords, 2) = ", " Then
    sWords = Left(sWords, Len(sWords) - 2)
  ElseIf Right(sWords, 5) = " AND " Then
    sWords = Left(sWords, Len(sWords) - 5)
  End If
  ToWords = UCase(sWords)
  
End Function

Try this...

thnx guys I'll probe and tell ya
