Random number

[dpdpdp95]

This is the first time i'm using VB and was wondering how i can randomly generate numbers from 1-5. is it just:

dim x as integer=Rnd(4)+1

??

also, do i import anything for the Rnd method to work? Or create some sort of function?

Welcome to the forums.

Recommend adding this line in your form's load event: Randomize Timer
That call will use the system timer value (changes each millisecond) to seed the random number generator. You can seed the generator with any number you choose

A formula to retrieve a random number in a range of 1 to Max is
X = Int(Rnd * [max number]) + 1
