number into words

[Cyrus]

in my oldays in doing DOS program I written Function that converts number figures into words and have the condition to break the words into 2 phrases if length exceed stated len. I converted this to VB6 problem is source is long . Does anybody knows if theres is VB function for this, or smaller coding.

thank in advance and god bless
