"If FromText<0 Then FromText=0
If FromText>35 Then FromText=35"

Surely you don't need these two lines? The line "FromText=Int(Rnd*35)" should obviously pick an integer between 0 and 35 anyways?

Coming Soon! Kangaroo2 Studio... wait and quiver with anticipation! lol

oh yeah. [img] [/img] you dont [img] [/img]

ust out of interest why do you have to write Rnd*35 why not just rnd(35) like on dbpro. the dbpro way seems a lot more logical [img][/img]

Rnd produces a random value between 0 and 1, the *35 part multiplies that value up to give a random value between 0 and 35. Personally I also prefer DBP's approach.

One thing to bare in mind though.

rnd generates a number between 0 and 1 but not including 1 so
int(0.9999999999*35) will be 34.
