I have an algorithm that return a string with the amount in spanish.

It works like this: Valor = converci(1253,"córdobas")
? Valor displays UN MIL DOSCIENTOS CINCUENTA Y TRES 00/100 córdobas

A friend wrote that code in the 90's when we worked with fox for dos and I've been using the same function since then.

If you want it, let me know an e-mail to send it.

>I just visited a friend in Nicaragua who run a mission there. They want to use QB to do their accounting (now they are using Excel but it provides little in the way of reports ets), however QB does not print checks in Spanish. Anyone know a better accounting package that will allow one to print checks in Spanish or any other ideas how they can use QB.
