coverting numbers to words

Guest

hi,
i need a code to covert the numbers to words in order to print it in a
report ( to show the amt in both numbers e.g $ 505 and in words e.g. five
hunded and five dollars only. i have one code but for two decimal places only
.. i want it for three dicimal places e.g. 126.250 to read as one hundred
twenty sex and two hundred fifty fils instead of reading it as twenty five
fils.
this is the code which i have

I'm sure that any code you get will only run to 2 decimals. You're
going to have to adapt any pre-existing code, as they are written for
check writing, and checks are written to 2 decimals.
Here is an alternative method. Perhaps you will find it easier to work
with.
