Just wondering if any of ye code guru's could tell me how to generate a random number between 1 and 100 in VB!?
Cheers,

Beef.

Randomize
MsgBox Int((High - Low + 1) * Rnd) + Low

Randomize : MsgBox Int(100 * Rnd) + 1

Randomize

Shouldn't that be Randomize Timer ? Wouldn't the radomize reset the seed with the same value all the time? or did they change that for VB?

Maybe that's in an older version. Just Randomize should work fine with VB5 or 6.

Rand(range start, range end) should do fine.

dim x%, y%

Randomize

x = Rnd
y = Rand(1, 100)

Randomize Timer is still allowed for backwards compatibility, but Randomize with no argument is taken to be equivalent.
