use this function:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function randomnumber(lowestallowed as integer, highestallowed as integer) as integer
  2.    randomize
  3.    randomnumber = lowestallowed + round(rnd * (highestallowed - lowestallowed))
  4. end function
where you need the number in your code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dim value as integer
  2. value = randomnumber(97,122)

Hi,

Instead of round, use :

Math.Round()
Or
Math.Ceiling()
Or
Math.Floor()
