I was just wanting to load a deck of cards into an array. nothing fancy.
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Debug.Print "loading deck of cards"
'config suits and cards, decks and shoes this game will show me how to load a deck of cards and randomly pick one, then the next
'presume standard deck of cards, 4 suits, 13 cards per suit
'Ace through Jack, 10 through 2; ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
'create the deck array and load it, and show it

Dim deckofcards(52)
z = 0

For x = 1 To 4
    'Debug.Print x
    Select Case x   'select suit
    
    Case 1
        suit = "H"  'hearts
    Case 2
        suit = "D"  'diamonds
    Case 3
        suit = "C"  'clubs
    Case 4
        suit = "S"  'spades
    Case Else
    End Select
    
    For y = 14 To 2 Step -1
            'Debug.Print y
            Select Case y
            Case 14
                card = "A"
            Case 13
                card = "K"
            Case 12
                card = "Q"
            Case 11
                card = "J"
            Case Else
                card = y
            End Select
            
            'Debug.Print suit, card
            deckofcards(z) = suit & card
            'Debug.Print deckofcards(z)
            z = z + 1
    Next
Next
For x = 0 To 52
    Debug.Print deckofcards(x)
Next
End Sub
