Use Randomize to initialize the random number generator. Then for each letter, use Rnd to pick a number between 0 and 26 + 26 + 10. If the number is less than 26, use it to pick a letter between A and Z. If the number is between 25 and 2 * 26, subtract 26 and use the result to pick a number between a and z. If the number is 2 * 26 or greater, subtract 2 * 26 and use the result to pick a digit between 0 and 9.
