    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)

    Al.

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