For this, you will need to learn these functions: GetChar, Split, and ToString. Oh and, a basic understanding of concatenation.

I'm not going to put the code in here because I don't have any IDE to test the code, but I'll explain the steps required to achieve your objective.

1. Store their name in a variable, lets call this name.

2. Use Split method of String class to break name into two chunks INTO an array. (Tips: Space is the default Delimiter, and set the appropriate number for Limit to ensure you're only getting two letters.)

3. Use a for loop, use the GetChar method of String class to take the first indexed character of each string in your array. Store each char to a variable

4. Use the Right method of String class to grab the 3 numbers of your customer number.

5. Concatenate everything together to form XXnnn.

Hope this helps. I would code it if I had an IDE for VB, but I don't.

By the way, what are the content inside the second spoiler? Are those your work in progress? Or given by instructor?

I recommend you use the data type Decimal for any variables for money.
