Change Letter

[GavZ]

Hi - Is it possible to change a letter to two leeters up from what you type?

For example when you type an 'a' you get a 'c'

Thanks in advance

use the keypress event and echo chr$(KeyAscii+3) to the control.

This should point you in the right direction

You can use the KeyDown event for that, something like

Private Sub YourControlName_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    KeyCode = KeyCode + 2
End Sub

You will need some kind of check for results after the Z.

I have got it to work ok with the keypress function and chr$(KeyAscii+3)

Is it possible to do the above and change each letter of a string with a button?

I think this may be what you are trying to achieve... Well sort of, anyway.

Access 97... is that still around?

The attachment has been converted but not tested (I dont have A97 on any of my PC's) You may have to reset references.

I use it to store logon passwords in a table. I thought that storing the actual password was a bit obvious, so I use this method to store and retreive them.
