>If you mean in a VFP app, it should be pretty easy. Spin through the string, looking at each character. Keep a running count of how many are ISDIGIT(), ISUPPER() and ISLOWER(). You have a strong password if:

I doänt understand the need for NonDigitCount. Is the following code best way to check for a strong password ?
FUNCTION IsStrongPassword( cStr )
LOCAL i, nDigitCount, nUpperCount, nLowerCount
STORE 0 TO nDigitCount, nUpperCount, nLowerCount
FOR i=1 TO LEN(cStr)
DO case
CASE ISDIGIT( SUBSTR(m.cStr,m.i))
nDigitCount = nDigitCount + 1
CASE ISUPPER(SUBSTR(m.cStr,m.i))
nUpperCount = nUpperCount + 1
CASE ISLOWER(SUBSTR(m.cStr,m.i))
nLowerCount = nLowerCount + 1
ENDCASE
ENDFOR
RETURN LEN(m.cStr)>5 AND m.nUpperCount>0 AND m.nLowerCount>0
