Insert the following code into a module within your database called Numbers to Words:
Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons
Option Explicit 'Require explicit variable declaration
'Variables used in NumWord() procedure defined here in Declarations.
Dim EngNum(90) As String
Dim StringNum As String, Chunk As String, English As String
Dim Hundreds As Integer, Tens As Integer, Ones As Integer
Dim LoopCount As Integer, StartVal As Integer
Dim TensDone As Integer
Dim Pennies As String
Static Function NumWord(ByVal AmountPassed As Currency) As String

In your report, the following should be inserted into the control line where you want the number conversion to take place:
=NumWord([Amount])
I can't take the credit for this code, it originated from Alan Simpson.
Good Luck
