I need to create a check digit for a financial institution's scanline and am not quite sure how to make that happen using the 7532 weights. The appeal code and package code should be static so I will just assign the appropriate numbers for the letters and will build one string containing all of the numbers for the scanline without spaces. That is unless I should do it a different way. I found some VB code but I am unsure how to use it so if we can get everything to work in Excel or Access that would be wonderful. Thank you for your assistance and I await your responses.

The instructions I received are as follows...
Total # of characters: 34
Font: OCR-A
The scan line is 34 characters long including all spaces. It is as follows:
POSITIONS START-END LENGTH DESCRIPTION
1-10 10 ID#1
11 1 Space
12-17 6 Fund2
18 1 Space
19-24 6 Appeal3
25 1 Space
26-32 7 Package4
33 1 Space
34 1 Check Digit Verifier5
1 – ID# - all ID#’s from the client should be 10 characters
2 – Fund - always 451000
3 – Appeal – DM# - 0 fill after DM if necessary (ie DM0213)
4 – Package – Keycode (ie 405R914)
5 – Check digit (for whole scan line)

6. Divide the sum by the modulus 10 to determine the remainder
Ex: 104/10=10.4 – the remainder is 4
7. Subtract the remainder* from the Modulus 10 to determine the check digit
* If the remainder is 0, then the check digit equals 0
Ex: 10-4=6 – the check digit is 6
