does anyone know how to make a textbox generate random letters as its text? code, please, and yes, its VB if u didnt read the subject :p

[code]
randomize timer
for iIndex = 0 to iAmount
   txtBlah = txtBlah + chr(int(rnd * 26) + asc("A"))
next
[/code]

This is totally untested, but should fill txtBlah with iAmount random capital characters

i use this for random hex char's, it might be able to get you at least started:

[code]Public Function RandomLetter(finished As Long) As String
   Randomize
   Dim anus As Long
   anus = Int((Val(finished) * Rnd) + 1)
   RandomLetter = Hex(anus)
End Function[/code]

just replace hex(anus) with chr(anus) and it should be fine.

[code]Public Function RandomString(Length As Long) As String
   Dim lLetters As String, uLetters As String
   lLetters = "1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0jklmnopqrstuv"
   uLetters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLM1N2O3P4Q5R6S7T8U9V0"

   For I = 1 To Length
       If Int(Rnd * 2) = 1 Then
           Randomize
           RandomString = RandomString & Mid$(lLetters, Int(Rnd * 32), 1)
       Else
           Randomize
           RandomString = RandomString & Mid$(uLetters, Int(Rnd * 22), 1)
       End If
   Next I

End Function[/code]
this'll generate a random string containing lowercase/uppercase and the numbers 1-9

usage:
Text1 = RandomString(10)

thx that helped a lot
