Default Random password gen - Excel VBA

Oops - Minor typo

for the moment, you get Cells(3, 2) which is the same as Cells(Row 3, Column

2)
which is the cell B2.


should be B3. Apologies.

Password = Password & Worksheets("sheet1").Cells(3 + i, 2 + j)


Note the Worksheets("sheet1").Cells(3 + i, 2 + j) bit. The cells(x, y)

section
of that statement is a way of referencing a cell. If you ignore the i and j

bit
for the moment, you get Cells(3, 2) which is the same as Cells(Row 3, Column

2)
which is the cell B2.

Now, here is where the i and j come into play. Based on the code, i and j

will
always be equal to somewhere between 1 and 10 inclusive, so the Cells(Row,
Column) bit will always give you Cells(Row 3 + {1 to 10}, Column 2 + {1 to

10}),
so the very minimum you will get is

Cells(Row 3 + 1, Column 2 + 1), which equals Cells(4, 3), which equals C4

and the max

Cells(Row 3 + 10, Column 2 + 10), which equals Cells(13, 12), which equals L14

so your range of C4:L14 is encompassed within those parameters

The Worksheets("sheet1"). before the Cells(... bit, simply says that the

range
being referred to is on Sheet1.

Thanks Marcotte A,
Now it functions all right. But I wonder, which code section refers to the
C4:L13 area cells?
TIA

Hi Marcotte A,
I am only able to generate a dot as a password(!) using this code. Am I
doing something wrong?.

Do you have source words in the range C4:L13? The code is designed to

pick 2 random cells from a 10x10 range filled with 4 letter strings and
combine them. I'm guessing that those cells are blank so the Password
variable never changes from "", so when the MsgBox displays you just get
what is in the double quotes (including the final dot).
