i understand that i will need to create libraries for courses and Centers to convert
into Course Code and center codes.


what should do? design something via visual basic?

or is it getting more complex? do i need to use some other software or some program is needed to programmed.
microsoft Access and SQL express of any use?

If you are trying to create the code based on courses, centres, etc., you will need to create tables for each separately, showing all the courses, centres, etc and their corresponding codes. Then you can use VLOOKUP() function to lookup the proper codes and CONCATENATE them to make the final code.

If you can post a sample workbook with some of that information, we can assist you better.
