Default Populating a Label/Text Box with Random Number

I have put a txt box and a label in a word doc. I am trying to populate it
with code that I have written to generate a random number and I am not having
any luck.

Is there a property that I am not aware of for labels and txt boxes in word.

For all I know it could be my Option Explicit code at the top. Here is my
code:
It starts in the Word Project:

Option Explicit

Public Function GenPrimaryValue() As String
Dim strStart As String
Dim strDate As String
Dim strEnd As String
Dim CrntDate As Date
Dim intChar As Integer
Dim upperbound As Long
Dim lowerbound As Long
Dim X As Long
Randomize

CrntDate = Now
upperbound = 65
lowerbound = 89
intChar = CInt((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)

strStart = Chr(intChar)

strDate = DatePart("YYYY", CrntDate)
strDate = strDate & Format(DatePart("m", CrntDate), "00")
strDate = strDate & Format(DatePart("d", CrntDate), "00")

strEnd = ""

For X = 1 To 5
upperbound = 0
lowerbound = 4
intChar = CInt((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
Select Case intChar
Case 1
upperbound = 65
lowerbound = 89
intChar = CInt((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
Case Else
upperbound = 51
lowerbound = 48
intChar = CInt((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
End Select
strEnd = strEnd & Chr(intChar)
Next X

GenPrimaryValue = strStart & strDate & strEnd
PRONUM = GenPrimaryValue

End Function

Private Sub Document_Open()

Call GenPrimaryValue

End Sub

Can someone someone please tell me what the hang up is?
