I need to create an app that allows a user to input a scrambled word, and output, to another form, all the different combinations of the letters in the word. Please Help. TIA

1. In order to get the list ordered alphabetically, I suggest you put all separate letters of the word in a (invisible) Listbox with the Property Sorted = True
2. If you also need to display all words made with only 2 letters, loop through the Listbox, take every letter in it and immediately followed by all other letter from the Listbox. If needed, repeat adding a third letter etc. For this, increment an integer (i).
3. If you only need to display the full length words, put i = max.number of letters in the Listbox immediately.
Hope this helps.
