Converting Figures To Words

Dear all,

I am creating a database which has an invoice printing form. In that I would like to have a column for the total amount in words. I have got a sample module from northwind database. According to that 100,000 is "one hundred thousand" but in my country that is pronounced as " 1 Lakh" and for one million it is 10 lakh, for 10 million it is 1 crore like that. Is that possible to change the code in that module to display the words according to our standards? I am attaching the code with this thread. If anybody can show how to do that...I will be thankful to them..


Thanks
