You could always just use SQL to generate the string automaticall in the relevant row via say an SP or SQL UDF.

Not really enough processing to make a difference really. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 4:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: automatically generate password I've not followed this thread entirely, but if generating a good random password is still an issue, then I'd go with and idea like Bobby has stated, but I'd use a UDF and not a custom tag. As I've recently become *very* aware of, CFScript is just *way* faster than tag based code, especially for something like this. Check out CFLib.org there are two or three password generators out there. One always creates eight character passwords but is free from annoying similar looking characters like 1 and l (one and lower-case L... just in case). Another generates any length password you want, and another generates WEP keys. Here's a link to the first one I mentioned called Make Password <http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=437>.
