Take a close look at the two lines: CODE lblPassword.Caption = Right(txtFirstName, 1) lblPassword.Caption = Left(txtLastName.Text, 3) The first line is fine, but the second line is where it goes wrong. You're overwriting the information you got from the first name with the information you're getting from the last name. To fix it, just write this instead: CODE lblPassword.Caption = Right(txtFirstName.Text, 1) lblPassword.Caption = lblPassword.Caption & Left(txtLastName.Text, 3) By doing so, you're preserving the original value and adding onto it.
