Hello
i have an int named numberofcars that randomly selects a number between 1 and 20 with the code numberofcars = rnd(1,20)
and i have 20 strings declared like car1,car2,car3 ..... car20 as String

Now the quesiton is for example numerofcars is 17 (choosen randomly) i want to assign a value to car1 to car17 (the value is not important , I just want to know how to assign a value to the cars that comes from the numberofcars int. Shortly : I have to assign car1,car2... car17 a value but not assign anything to car18 car19 and car20 )

The question is mixed a little bit hope u can udnerstand TY

You should use an array of strings.
Dim car(20) As String
Then you can access each car with car(0), car(1), car(2) etc.
I suggest you to begin with index 0 instead of 1.
Be aware that the function numberofcars = Rnd(1,20) generates numbers between 1 and 19 !
From the help: Returns a random integer between Min (inclusive) and Max (exclusive).
