Writing out numbers in words...

[TheVig]

I tweaked the the codes a bit...I like the "-" in between a tens place and ones...like Seventy-Two instead of Seventy Two.
Also, I put a comma in after in between appropriate number places.
This only works for currency right now.

Thanks a bunch Ginataras! This is a really good example for using VB. I think I'll get a kick out of using that too!
