would it not be simpler to put a code string before the randomization process that prohibits doubble numbers for each row, column and 3x3 box?

see, that is why i need the unique numbers code... i can prolly toy around with the code and make it produce random unique numbers but i do need that code fisrt... btw, i followed your advice and put a post at setbb ;)

nope, sorry. But experiment with some code and it will hit you like a ton of bricks sooner or later ;)

i am just guessing now but try something like this if list1.additem = "" then (insert your code here)

i got the numbers 0 to 9 to place in rows and columns for a Sudoku Game, i have managed to code all i need exept for the unique numbers code. All the code is done in VB 6 becuse that is what my crappy school and budget can manage for licenses... >_< the code for the Sudoku Game (form2 is only a credits window) Option Explicit Private Sub Cmd_cred_Click() Form2.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub cmd_exit_Click() End End Sub Private Sub cmd_gen_Click() Dim a As Integer For a = 0 To 80 Text1(a) = Int(Rnd * 2) If Text1(a) = 0 Then Text1(a) = "" End If Next Dim c As Integer For c = 0 To 80 If Text1(c).Text = "1" Then Text1(c) = Int(Rnd * 10) End If Next Dim d As Integer For d = 0 To 80 If Text1(d).Text = "0" Then Text1(d) = "" End If Next End Sub Private Sub cmd_reset_Click() Dim b As Integer For b = 0 To 80 Text1(b) = "" Next Form1.BackColor = &HE0E0E0 End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Form1.BackColor = &HE0E0E0 End Sub I have been using textboxes wit a control array for this progran i hope you guys can help me thanks in advance :)

thank you, i will try some of this code ASAP ^^ :-D and yes i agree, VB6 is old but i guess its all about the license stuff >_> X|

that link would be good if it was for VB6 though, but that array creation you vill have to explain some more

Hello everyone. i posted before abot making a sudodu game generator and was given the answer that i need an array for that. i would really apriciate if i could get some help with coding this array since this litte program is due Week 16 and my teacher is to senile to help me... also i need to shed some light in how to generate blanks in a randomize code with only numbers. i am not posting my code here because it is very long... but i could send it to people who would like to help me. Thanks in advance ~Snake~

well i actually have a beginners book that wont give me that kind of info :(

i dislike solving programs and i solve sudokus by hand frequently.

please mail a more detailed explenation of how to set up arrays and other useful tips

Hello everyone. I am trying to create a simple sudoku generator. I have decided to use textfields. so far i have made the generation code but what i get stuck on is how to get spaces (blanks) and how to get the solution matrix so that the numbers cant be the same in horizontal and vertical rows and the 3x3 boxes. i am using really simple code because i am still leaning the program but i am making this as a school project i would be really glad if i got some help in this ~Solid Snake~

is it not easier to use Access for that sort of things?
