Well you should just put the randomly generated accounts in an array and check the array against what they entered. Post some code so we know what you mean. |

ok. in a loop create a random integer and pass the value to a string which already includes the prefix you want. accountnum will of course be a string var, and prefix would also be one, with a value like "MG" You could also create the other types of accounts by changing the prefix that is used

Just an FYI, Rand.Int(low, high) is easier to use, because it is a function instead of a procedure. This way, your code would look like this (much shorter)
