I don't know if there's an "official" standard for this, but I would have thought that each group (of three digits) would include an and:
$1,253,812 => One million two hundred and fifty three thousand eight hundred and twelve dollars Tore. -----Original Message----- From: Bleier, Brenda G (SAIC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 9:12 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: RE: Currency to Words function for ASP you are correct Chris! -----Original Message----- From: Chris Tifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: August 28, 2002 10:54 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Re: Currency to Words function for ASP Just so you're aware, I believe "and" is only used when describing the cents portion. The current output you showed is correct. Anyone else think differently?

My questions is, does any one have an VBScript or Visual Basic function that converts a currency variable to a written string? The current one we have works well, but it is doesn't handle every situation. For example when using his number $1,302,200.00 it prints "One Million Three Hundred Two Thousand Two Hundred Dollars" But we are looking for one that properly includes an "and" where appropriate. So the above example would read "One Million Three Hundred and Two Thousand Two Hundred Dollars" We are not really sure which (if either) is considered proper. But it is for an insurance application, if it sees rather picky. Thanks for you help!
