JP,

I should have said fp Tech passwords.  They are random numbers and letters.  Not
easy to remember.

As I previously posted - This is for an app that will run on Windows server 2003
with XP clients.

My client has a need for ODBC connections and this Windows makes things a bit
easier.  

If no one has a routine, I'll have to play with it to see what I can come up
with.  

This needs to be done with no human intervention.  The password will be
generated, list and then the login name and password will be e-mailed to the
person.  

I probably can come up with something using the information in the record plus
the date and time for generating numbers or words- maybe.
