You can put any expression you want in a report.

Just go ahead and paste yours in one and let it rip.

Hi Gert,

With in the report... add a box just as you do for a field.. But in its expression put the code..
moneyWord(mNumber)

YOu dont have to use = or == signs.

In the expression I provided..

moneyword is your FUNCTION or PROCEDURE which will have as its first line
PARAMETERS nValue or such numeric variable as input. Then that is processed for converting the input to word and RETURN that cWord value. In your report the FieldBox which holds that said function above should be Character type with required width to hold the return value.

If you need more than this, please specify. I will provide a Num2Word utlity for convertion purposes. ramani
