I tried to create a unique code for each shop in the form I made. I have two TextBox controls (TBNameStore and TBCodeStore). What I want is that when I write the name of the shop, for example "Brothers in Arm", in TBNameStore, then TBCodeStore should automatically be filled with the text "BIA".

How can I do that?

TBNameStore="Brothers in Arm"
TBCodeStore="BIA"

"in VB6.0"

Why? You're using a language which has been "dead" for over 20 years! Unless you're maintaining an ancient legacy system, there's no benefit to learning VB6; use VB.NET instead.

Take the text from your text box, and use the Split function to break it into words:

VB

Dim output() As String
output = Split("Brothers in Arm", " ")

Now you can use an array to extract the first letter of each word (since they are in separate array elements that's pretty simple) and build your output string.
