It's well documented in Help, what is your intent?
Totext is equivalent to Cstr, and converts numerous data types to a string, here's an example of a numeric:
Totext(1234.56,0,""
Returns 1234
The 2nd parameter states the number of decimal places, the 3rd designates the character to use as a thousands seperator.
Towords is a throwback to Crystal's early days of being a check writer, and allows for numerics to be converted to words, as in:
ToWords(12345.5000,0)
Returns twelve thousand three hundred forty six.
Note that the 2 parameter states the number of decimal places to honor.
