Have you ever installed a custom function before? It's pretty simple, once you get it down.

Are you getting stuck at the Custom Function dialog or the field definition?

I made a quick sample so you can compare your CF with this to see where you might have errored.

Hi All and thanks for the quick response

In fact it is the first time installing a custom function and the error i am getting is in the Custom Function dialog.

I am using FM9Pro advanced on a XP

When creating a custom function, there are four text boxes. The first is for the name of the function. The second is where you enter parameters, the third where the added parameters are shown. The fourth box is for the calculation text.

I'm guessing you're not adding the parameters correctly (or at all).

[Antoinedeb]

Hi DJ. that is very possible or perhaps you are 100% correct. how can i learn to do it right?

thanks

Antoine,

I attached a file in my previous post, so that may compare your file to how the Custom Function [color:blue] NumberInWords is entered, and you can then compare that to what you have entered.

BTW, I didn't see the need for the two parameters Currency; DecimalCurr, but then the point was to show you how to enter these things for this Custom Function into the Custom Function New, Edit Box.

HTH
