Is there a function in the VB that replicates a specific character?
For example, I need to put 100 of a zero string.
Note. I need a build-in function or better way which doesn't use a loop.

I am pretty sure you are gonna have to use a loop to do this, there is no built in function that I am aware of.

Yes, you use String.
To make 100 spaces, you'd do this:
strString = String(100, " ")

Will this better?
Code:
Dim strString As String
strString = String(100, chr(0))
or
strString = String(100, vbNull)

Chris, i think you mean vbNullchar. vbNull is used as returnvalues for variants

writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
