Need Troubleshooting Help [resolved]

I have an application that changes and $$ amount into a written out ammount. Ex. 250$ = Two Hundred Fifty Dollars. I have the following code that i want to modify, but i have found that it doesnt correctly translate the cents part, can you guys help me out on this one and tell me what is causing this, it doesnt always translate incorrectly only on certain occasions. I only have a text box and a command button so it should be easy to set up.

Example: 243.42 = Two hundres forty three dollars and forty one cents
another example: 96.86 = Ninety Six Dollars and Eighty Five cents
while when you do 6.32 it comes up correctly. What is causing this cause i cant find it.

Thanks for you help in advance.

I have a sample app on my site that converts a number to words. It is implemented as a function "Num2Words". It only works on integers. To do what you want, you will need to call the function twice. Break up your string at the decimal point (you can use Split or other string-handling functions to do this), then call the routine once passing it the "dollars" portion and append the text " dollars and ", then call it again passing it the "cents" portion, and append that result along with the word "cents" to the final result.

The code can be found here:

BruceG, I will look into your app, but i would still like to know what is causing the code that i currently have to act the way it is. If it was happening all the time then i would know that there is something wrong with the code but if it acts like that on certain instances, i would really like to know what is causing it.

You are using LONG's which don't handle division well. The drawback to using SINGLE is that there is a range limit of 32768. You could use Currency type though, which should be what you need. Change the type of C1 and C10 for sure, to solve your problem.

I knew it was something small.

Thanks dglienna

Ever since I discovered CHOOSE function, it has made my functions very small in cases like this one.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    '*** Usage ***
    MsgBox AmountToWords(InputBox("Enter Amount:"))
End Sub

    'Rupees part
    s = Int(num)
    s = Format(s, "-##-##-##-##-##-#-##")
    Do While InStr(s, "--") > 0
        s = Replace(s, "--", "-")   'remove extra seperators
    Loop
    If s = "-" Then
        AmountToWords = "Rupees Zero"
    Else
        sa = Split(s, "-")
        For i = UBound(sa) To 1 Step -1
            AmountToWords = GetNum(sa(i)) & GetPlace(sa(i), UBound(sa) - i + 1) & AmountToWords
        Next
        AmountToWords = "Rupees " & AmountToWords
    End If
    
    'Paise Part
    If Int(num) <> num Then
        s = Format(num, "0.00")
        s = Mid(s, InStr(s, ".") + 1, 2)

End Function
