Hello!
I've just managed to add a button to my Access 2000 based sales ledger to write out cheques (I can never find my biro)...
The problem I'm gettting is that the 'amount in words' textbox splits words (does a carrige return mid word), e.g:
"One Hundred and Fif
ty Pounds"
Whereas obviously I'd like it to keep words together.
I've looked at the various options in the alignment property of the textbox on the report, but no joy.
To print the amount as words I used the following module:
Function ConvertCurrencyToEnglish (ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Temp
Dim Pounds, Pence
Dim DecimalPlace, Count
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
' Convert MyNumber to a string, trimming extra spaces.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Find decimal place.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' If we find decimal place...
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
' Convert Pence
Temp = Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)
Pences = ConvertTens(Temp)
' Strip off Pences from remainder to convert.
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
' Convert last 3 digits of MyNumber to English Pounds.
Temp = ConvertHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Pounds = Temp & Place(Count) & Pounds
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
' Remove last 3 converted digits from MyNumber.
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
' Clean up Pounds.
Select Case Pounds
Case ""
Pounds = "No Pounds"
Case "One"
Pounds = "One Pound"
Case Else
Pounds = Pounds & " Pounds"
End Select
' Clean up Pence.
Select Case Pence
Case ""
Pence = " And No Pence"
Case "One"
Pences = " And One Pence"
Case Else
Pences = " And " & Pence & " Pence"
End Select
ConvertCurrencyToEnglish = Pounds & Pence
End Function
Private Function ConvertHundreds (ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Result As String
' Exit if there is nothing to convert.
If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
' Append leading zeros to number.
MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
' Do we have a hundreds place digit to convert?
If Left(MyNumber, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = ConvertDigit(Left(MyNumber, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If
' Do we have a tens place digit to convert?
If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = Result & ConvertTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
Else
' If not, then convert the ones place digit.
Result = Result & ConvertDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
End If
ConvertHundreds = Trim(Result)
End Function
Private Function ConvertTens (ByVal MyTens)
Dim Result As String
' Is value between 10 and 19?
If Val(Left(MyTens, 1)) = 1 Then
Select Case Val(MyTens)
Case 10: Result = "Ten"
Case 11: Result = "Eleven"
Case 12: Result = "Twelve"
Case 13: Result = "Thirteen"
Case 14: Result = "Fourteen"
Case 15: Result = "Fifteen"
Case 16: Result = "Sixteen"
Case 17: Result = "Seventeen"
Case 18: Result = "Eighteen"
Case 19: Result = "Nineteen"
Case Else
End Select
Else
' .. otherwise it's between 20 and 99.
Select Case Val(Left(MyTens, 1))
Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
Case 4: Result = "Forty "
Case 5: Result = "Fifty "
Case 6: Result = "Sixty "
Case 7: Result = "Seventy "
Case 8: Result = "Eighty "
Case 9: Result = "Ninety "
Case Else
End Select
' Convert ones place digit.
Result = Result & ConvertDigit(Right(MyTens, 1))
End If
ConvertTens = Result
End Function
Private Function ConvertDigit (ByVal MyDigit)
Select Case Val(MyDigit)
Case 1: ConvertDigit = "One"
Case 2: ConvertDigit = "Two"
Case 3: ConvertDigit = "Three"
Case 4: ConvertDigit = "Four"
Case 5: ConvertDigit = "Five"
Case 6: ConvertDigit = "Six"
Case 7: ConvertDigit = "Seven"
Case 8: ConvertDigit = "Eight"
Case 9: ConvertDigit = "Nine"
Case Else: ConvertDigit = ""
End Select
End Function
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
