    Coverting numbers data in one feild into words in another feild

    Hi I am wondering if it is possible to use the expression builder to look at numbers in one field and convert them to words in another field or would this have to done with code ?
    Cheers for the help in advance

    Hi I wasn't as specific enough in my question. I see this link converts 1 to one and 2 to two and so on. I want to say if there is a number one in a field then convert it to a name. If there is a two convert it to a different name? Hope that makes sence

    i'm nt sure where you want this to happen. If in a table then, use an update query. If in a report then join the two tables (one containing all your data and the number and one containing the number as a foreign key and the name) in a query. If in a form then use the same mechanism as in a report but with a subform.
