Hi,

Dim dAmt As Decimal = CType(134.34, Decimal)

Trace.WriteLine(dAmt.ToString("c"))

Thanks Ken, but what I am really looking for is a way to print the words
"One Hundred Thirty Four And 34/100" does VB .NET offer a way to do that?

I had to write that code for a payroll program.
This should get you started:
Convert the Amount to a string, then group in three's from the decimal going
left - I called them 'chunks'
A couple of arrays for words
from "one" thru "nineteen"
and
from "twenty" thru "ninety" (by tens)
then look at the first 2 digits of each group - and go from there.
