configure field as random between 2 numbers?

MN
I know that there is a way to define an autonumber field as random but
is there anyway to configure a random field to only produce a number
within a certain range, for example between 55 and 88?

Thanks.

Public Function GetRandomNo() As Integer
GetRandomNo = Int((55 * Rnd) + 33)
End Function

>From A97 Help file for Rnd Function:
The Rnd function returns a value less than 1 but greater than or equal
to zero.

A to B (inclusive)

Int(((B - A + 1) * Rnd) + A)

E.g.,

55 to 88 (inclusive)

Int((34 * Rnd) + 55)

Note that the example given in the Help file using A = 1 and B = 6 is
somewhat misleading because of the choice of A.
