thanks for your code, unfortunatly i'm not very experienced when it comes to
code like this, is there any way you could tell me which bits of the code i
need, i'm using a currency field call 'money' ie £ 1500, and i want the text
to display in a field called 'moneytext' ie one thousand and five hundred
pounds. sorry i know this is a bit of a check but i'm at a complete loss.

many thanks

Just copy the code from the webpage, and put it into a standard module.

Then, assuming the numeric representation you want to convert is sitting in
a textbox called, say, txtMoney, you can call the code like so:
Me!txtMoneyText = Num2Text(Me!txtMoney, ConvTypeCurrency,
CapProperCase_MinorLC)

In a query, assuming the table field you want to convert is called, say
[Money], you can call it in the QBE grid like so:
MoneyText: Num2Text([Money], 3, 4)

....which in SQL translates to:

SELECT Num2Text([Money], 3, 4) As MoneyText
FROM tblMyTable
