[RESOLVED] Concatenation Problem

[benjiman]

[RESOLVED] my problem is that im trying to get the lblWord to display "*********"
all the variables are dimmed appropiately and are working, i can set strNewWord = "*" and then lblWord will display "*" but the concatenation just doesnt seem to work
if theres any other info you guys need just ask, im totally lost
*EDIT* this segment was solved using the line
strNewWord = String(Len(strWord), "*")

however i need this part in another part of the program and im wondering, is there any reason for the line
strNewWord = strNewWord & strWordAst(bytI)
to not work? i have ALL variables declared and they all can be assigned values and i have even tested strNewWord, but this one line just doesnt seem to work


strWord = "Microsoft"
bytLength = Len(strWord)
For bytI = 1 To bytLength
strWordAst(bytI) = "*"
strNewWord = strNewWord & strWordAst(bytI)
Next bytI
lblWord.Caption = strNewWord
