Hello all

I am working on a letter incrementing utility AKA A,B,C but with a 7 character field AKA AAAAAAA, AAAAAAB, AAAAAAC. So this procedure could have to loop up to 8,031,810,176 times, yea thats 8 billion times

End users will just enter the starting letter / ending letter series and I want to figure out the rest

My question / observation is

a. I should use a table to store the results, right?

b. I think I will have problems displaying the results, does anyone know if a object (Grid / Listbox / whatever) that can handle 8 billion records without a increased chance of my program or the PC bombing?

c. Would a for/endfor statement bomb having to loop 8 billion times?

If anyone can think of any other issues they would be greatly appreciated
