hello,
I need some help pls: i want to create a program that will generate a serial number composed of 8 carattercts (3 letters followed by 5 numbers ---> i.e. FRT78136). Unfortunately i don't know how to use visualbasic very well; the last program i learnt was gwbasic...using gwbasic i would have used the randomize function. The program should change the rnd function in accordance to a sspecific yesr (i.e. when i am prompted for the 'randomize seed number' this should be a specific year such as 2010).

thank you for your kind help
Debora
