Rather than use a phrase I should like to generate a 40 digit random key for
my laptop/router connection. Can anyone tell me of a site that might do this
or do I have to reinvent the wheel?

Excel or any other spreadsheet will let you generate a random number.
Nowhere near as good as a combination of random letters, numbers, and
characters, but it's better than the average password people use.
Alternatively, why not get a random string of letters from something
like a PGP encrypted message.

Just a thought!

If you have access to qbasic, just write a quick program to do the job
for you...

I appreciate the offer Olly but will decline since I have no way of knowing
if the file is authentic or not.

Okay - all it contains is the following VBA function:

--------------------------------
Public Function RandomKey(Length As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
RandomKey = ""
For i = 1 To Length
RandomKey = RandomKey & Chr(Int((122 - 49) * Rnd + 48))
Next i
End Function
--------------------------------

Then you can use the function "=randomkey(40)" in a worksheet to generate a
random 40 character key.
