HI

I need help to write a program that tells wich letter is used instead of wich number, that is:

donald
+gerald
--------
robert
the idea is that the program find's out what number is a, b, etc..

or at least links to some useful pages

thanks

You are looking for the ascii conversion of the letters? Use the ASC() function to convert characters into the ascii code.

In details, I was thinking of something like this:
in visual basic:
for i1=1 to 9 do
A=i1
for i2=1 to 9 do
B=i2
for i3=1 to 9 do
B=i3
(etc. for all the letters that are important for this case)

if (100000*D+10000*O+1000*N+100*A+10*L+D)+
+(100000*G+10000*E+1000*R+100*A+10*L+D)=
=(100000*RG+10000*O+1000*B+100*E+10*R+T) then
the program displays the found values for each letter

What you just put would be the basic logic.

Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
Dim D As Double
Dim O As Double
Dim N As Double
Dim A As Double
Dim L As Double
Dim G As Double
Dim E As Double
Dim R As Double
Dim B As Double
Dim T As Double
'Dim i1 As Double

'Dim i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, i7, i8, i9, i10 As Double



For D = 1 To 9
Next D
For O = 1 To 9
Next O
For N = 1 To 9
Next N
For A = 1 To 9
Next A
For L = 1 To 9
'L = i5
Next L
For G = 1 To 9
'G = i6
Next G
For E = 1 To 9
'E = i7
Next E
For R = 1 To 9
'R = i8
Next R
For B = 1 To 9
'B = i9
Next B
For T = 1 To 9
'T = i10
Next T
If (100000 * D + 10000 * O + 1000 * N + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) + (100000 * G + 10000 * E + 1000 * R + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) = (100000 * R + 10000 * O + 1000 * B + 100 * E + 10 * R + T) Then
'MsgBox (D & "is D")
txtD.Text = D
End If

'MsgBox ("A=" & i1)

End Sub


I did this, but at the end the txtD.Text stays empty, why????

Here is the new version:

Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
Dim D As Double
Dim O As Double
Dim N As Double
Dim A As Double
Dim L As Double
Dim G As Double
Dim E As Double
Dim R As Double
Dim B As Double
Dim T As Double
'Dim i1 As Double

'Dim i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, i7, i8, i9, i10 As Double



For D = 1 To 9
For O = 1 To 9
For N = 1 To 9
For A = 1 To 9
For L = 1 To 9
For G = 1 To 9
For E = 1 To 9
For R = 1 To 9
For B = 1 To 9
For T = 1 To 9
If (100000 * D + 10000 * O + 1000 * N + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) + (100000 * G + 10000 * E + 1000 * R + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) = (100000 * R + 10000 * O + 1000 * B + 100 * E + 10 * R + T) Then
'MsgBox (D & "is D")
txtD.Text = D
End If
Next T
Next B
Next R
Next E
Next G
Next L
Next A
Next N
Next O
Next D



MsgBox ("A=" & A) 'for example to diplay the num value of A

End Sub

[Lop]

And the new version works?

[endrezr]

not realy, because for example d cannot be equal to r.
so I made this changes, but it still doesn't work all the way:
Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
Dim D As Double
Dim O As Double
Dim N As Double
Dim A As Double
Dim L As Double
Dim G As Double
Dim E As Double
Dim R As Double
Dim B As Double
Dim T As Double


For D = 1 To 9
For O = 1 To 9
For N = 1 To 9
For A = 1 To 9
For L = 1 To 9
For G = 1 To 9
For E = 1 To 9
For R = 1 To 9
For B = 1 To 9
For T = 1 To 9
If D <> O And D <> N And D <> A And D <> L And D <> G And D <> E And D <> R And D <> B And D <> T Then
If O <> N And O <> A And O <> L And O <> G And O <> E And O <> R And O <> B And O <> T Then
If N <> A And N <> L And N <> G And N <> E And N <> R And N <> B And N <> T Then
If A <> L And A <> G And A <> E And A <> R And A <> B And A <> T Then
If L <> G And L <> E And L <> R And L <> B And L <> T Then
If G <> E And G <> R And G <> B And G <> T Then
If E <> R And E <> B And E <> T Then
If R <> B And R <> T Then
' Beep ( I've put this here just to see if the program executes tis far)
If B <> T Then

If (100000 * D + 10000 * O + 1000 * N + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) + (100000 * G + 10000 * E + 1000 * R + 100 * A + 10 * L + D) = (100000 * R + 10000 * O + 1000 * B + 100 * E + 10 * R + T) Then MsgBox (D & O & N & A & L & G & E & R & B & T) 'txtD.Text = D 'MsgBox (D)
'txtD.Text = D
'Else

End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
Next T
Next B
Next R
Next E
Next G
Next L
Next A
Next N
Next O
Next D
End Sub


at the end I dont get the messagebox, any ideas?
