Paul:
Try this:
local lcGen_sec, i, lcGen_letter
lcGen_sec = ""
rand(-1)
i = 1
do while i <> 11
lcGen_letter = int((122-48+1)*rand()+48)
if (lcGen_letter > 57 and lcGen_letter < 65) or (lcGen_letter > 90 and
lcGen_letter < 97) then
loop
endif
lcGen_sec = lcGen_sec + chr(lcGen_letter)
i = i + 1
enddo
return lcGen_sec
You can change the lcGen_letter equate to any character range you want. And i
to make it any length.
A strong password should have uppercase, lowercase and numbers. Not sure if it
would also include special characters.

Subject: Password strength
Hi all
On some web sites which require the entry of a password there is a dynamically
updated "password strength indicator" which depends on password length, mix of
alpha, numeric and special characters and so on.
Any suggestions for an algorithm to do something similar in VFP ?
Thanks
Paul Newton
