Hunting for the check digit scheme

[Markus]

below is the list of hypothetical student numbers, the last digit is the
check digit. What I'd like to know is the check digit scheme used. Mod 10
algorithm doesn't work. I tried Verhoeff algorithm but it's to complicated
for me. Here's the first 20 in the series... please help me. i've been trying
to figure this out since yesterday. trial and error is so frustrating
already. i'd appreciate also if someone can show me how to implement in vb

Hi Markus

Perhaps you would like to expand on your actual requirements? Do you want to
peel off the last digit? Where and what do you want to do with the result?
View in form? View in query, View in report?

Markus,

If these are indeed *hypothetical* student numbers, then how did you create
the checksum digit?

There is no way we can tell, just by looking at these numbers, what
algorithm was used to create them. Also, it is highly unlikely that anyone
here is going to spend what could amount to hundreds of unpaid hours to
crack the code.

My advice is that you ask whoever created the numbers whose checksum
algorithm you want to crack.
