Auto Generator

[DataDoIt]

Does RAND allow for alpha characters?  Online help shows it only works for
numbers.

Is it possible to tell RAND to not pull numbers greater than, say, 36?
(0-9, a-z)  I could then decipher if it's a number greater than 9, pull a
corresponding alpha character (10 = a, 11 = b, etc.).

Am I making this more complicated than it has to be?
