Parse result to a form

[DJ Rican]

Hello all, I'm need help on getting a password generator to work, and also to send the results of that to a form... I did a combobox that displays the names of the users, I want to do something that when I select a name from the list and click go, it will automatically generate a password and attach both the username and password to a letter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hmm.

There are a few things that aren't clear in your post.

What kind of passwords do you want to generate? You could do something as easy as making a 6 character string of random characters with something like:

'  You only need this line once in your code, usually in your form's load event:
Randomize  '  Seed the random number generator.

'  This routine will generate a string of random letters as long as the
'    NumberOfChars parameter that's passed in.
Public Function RandomString(NumberOfChars As Integer) As String
  Dim strReturn  
  Dim intIndex As Integer
  
  For intIndex = 1 To NumberOfChars
    strReturn = strReturn & Chr$(Int(Rnd * 26) + 65)
  Next intIndex

  RandomString = strReturn
End Function

You could call the routine above with something like:

'  Display a string of 6 random characters:
MsgBox RandomString(6)

So, you could get the currently selected user from your combo, generate a random password for them with something like the routine above, but then I'm at a loss as to what you mean by "attach both the username and password to a letter".

Anyways,
Good luck,
