This script works perfectly in MS Access too. If the value is 0 no message will be printed.

Then, the output is entirely based on your preference, when you trigger the function either in form load or after updating the source field. For example : =ConvertCurrencyToEnglish([Amount]) can be use in a field which refers source field [Amount] and converts the number to words.
