What is the Chr$ doing here?

Code:

Chr$(iOnes + 64)

CHR$ is the VB code for an ASCII based character symbolised by a number. for example chr$(64) is ascii code for A therefore I can only assume it is being presented with the variable iOnes which by definition must be an integer otherwise an error will occur, say the value of iOnes is 15, it is adding the two figures together 15+64 to cget 79, which in ASCII represents a capital O.

Actually 65 is the ASCII for A.
So in this case if iOnes = 1, it would give the 1st letter of the alphabet (the first capital letter).
So in this case if iOnes = 26, it would give the 26th capital letter of the alphabet, âZâ.

Code:

    Chr$(iOnes + 96)

would do the same thing with the lowercase letters of the alphabet.

Say: What are all those websites? (Iâm not going without a little knowledge of what I might be getting into...)
