Dim crlf$


Private Sub Form_Load()
 Form1.Visible = True
 
 Text1.Text = ""
 crlf = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)

For a = 1 To 9
For b = a To 9
For c = b To 9
For d = c To 9
For e = d To 9
For f = e To 9
  If a + b + c + d + e + f = a * b * c * d * e * f Then
   Text1.Text = Text1.Text & a & b & c & d & e & f & "    " & a + b + c + d + e + f & crlf
  End If
Next
Next
Next
Next
Next
Next


 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & " done"
  
End Sub

finds that only the digit set 111126 works.

There are 6 places the 2 could be and then 5 places the 6 could be, so there are a total of 6*5 = 30 such integers.
