random numbers help needed

[Sparky AKA_Sparkticus]

Hi I am trying to create two random numbers

LBlnum1.Caption = Int(12 * Rnd) + 1
Lblnum2.Caption = Int(12 * Rnd) + 1

This creates the numbers but they are always the same numbers.
example I get 9 & 7 then 7 & 4 then 10 & 1

is their a way to make these numbers more random ?

Execute the Randomize statement (only one time) somewhere inside your
program before using the Rnd function. The best place to execute the
Randomize function is in the Form_Load event (or Sub Main if you start
your programs that way).
