Status: offline 		I am very new to VBScript. I got a book about writing "Cool VBScript pages". One of the first things it covers is using the random function. But, when I try it, it gives me the same sequence of random numbers every time. I would like it to give me a truly random set of numbers that is different each time. A game wouldn't be much fun if it "randomly" picked the same numbers every time you played it! How is this done?

Thanks for any info.

Gabe

Randomize
dblVal = Rnd()
