Generating a random number?

Is there anyway to make VB generate a random number.
eg.
Integer = Random(0,200)
so it would pick a number between 0 and 200

Yes. You can use the Rnd function

VB Code:

MSgbox Rnd * 200

VB Code:

Randomize
MsgBox Int(Rnd * 200) + 1

That will display a random whole number between 1 to 200.

The generalized formula is

VB Code:

Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
