PMFJI, but this returns an Alpha-Numeric password. Chr(97) is the ASCII value for lower case A. Rand() gives you a random value between 0 and 1 (decimal) so you have to multiple it by something to get another range (in this case 0 to 25). Adding that number and 97 will give you a random letter between 'a' and 'z'.

>OK, I feel like I'm looking at a repeating # problem on an IQ test. I understand the concept, but why multiply by 25 if rand() is even or by 9 if not?
