Update field with random numbers?

Is it possible in an Access DB i've got to work with to run an update
statement that would assign random nubers to a field.
(they don't have to be Unique either).
I need to be able to run it once a week through an update statement. So I
can't use the Access autonumber by random built in functionality.

Cheers.

Pete.
