Variable array

[Lee M.]

OK here's the situation.
I need to know if there are any (reasonably simple) ways to
generate numbers. Ok here is where it gets confusing:
If I enter a string of numbers i.e. 23423 and consider these "master numbers", that the individual "change numbers"
can not be the same as.
Example:
If master is 23423
The change numbers COULD be : 45879, 05645, etc.
Also the individual numbers (say the first digit) can not be = to or (= to master +1) or (= to master -1).
Now before you get too excited, THAT part of the problem I have solved, however the problem I am now having is that when the random changes are made, they CAN NOT be dupllicates of the changes already written. Man I hope this is understandable, I am fairly new at programming, I would apreciate any help.

i would first recommend that any numbers that u are with in this program be placed into variables just so that there is no chance of them being replaced.

Ok there is a decent randomizer in vb. check the help and it should show u how to use it. then all u have to do is match the random number against the ones u dont want it to match and the main one. a simple select case or nested if...then...else should do it. hope i have been of some help

Thank you very much.
I am dealing with up to 2000 different numbers, and wasn't sure if I should declare all of them, or use a variable array.
Thanks for the tip though!
