Hello,

For Access 2000, is there a code I can look at for reference on how to
transfer numbers to text like in a check writing software?

For example: $1,500.00 converts to ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS & 00
CENTS.

Also, where can I get a font for the routing and bank account number?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Are you planning to print checks from scratch on blank paper?

Nornally (or always?) checks are printed on pre-printed forms, where you only
fill in the stuff like the amounts and dates etc.

And, I think the routing and bank account numbers are printed with a special
magnetic ink, which enables the sorting process. Can you do that?

And I think banks may require checks with special anti-forgey features.


But what do I know? Seriously, I don't know much about this, but those are
questions that came to my mind when I read your message.

PS, there's probably some code somewhere to translate numbers to text like you
want, but I don't know where. Have you tried any searches with google?
 
Seems like whenever I post a message I have to quickly follow up with a
correction....

I found the font you want on my PC. It's named MICR.TTF. I don't know where
it came from, though. It probably came with either my operating system -
Windows XP.. or with MS Office 2003.

If you do a search on that name on your PC, you might find it.

We will print the checks on a pre-printed form dual-perforated paper.

We will use a MICR toner to print the checks, and yes, we can do that.

Yes, the check stock has anti-forgery feature.

Here's One:

And for the second;


Because the specifications for MICR characters are for the
printed characters (not the on-screen, or bitmapped,
dimensions of the MICR font) each MICR laser printer must
use a custom MICR font tailored to the characteristics of
that particular printer. There is not one universal MICR
font set that will work in every MICR laser printer. A
MICR font is optimized for a specific printer only after
months of stringent research and testing.

It's amazing what Google will come up with.
