How do I generate random numbers. I'm using vb express edition 2005. Thanks in advance.

Have a look at Random and Rnd in help.


Hope this helps.

I have looked at it but none of them are for VB express 2005 all of them are VB.NET. I've been searching for an hour and I can't find anything.

VB Express 2005, is a version of VB.Net

Well I don't understand the code they use functions and some of them have a strange formula. I thought it would be

intRandomNumber = random(1, 3)

or somethingn like that.

Copied and pasted straight form help:

' Initialize the random-number generator.
Randomize()
' Generate random value between 1 and 6.
Dim value As Integer = CInt(Int((6 * Rnd()) + 1))

Hope this helps.

Oh my! That's some pretty cool code there. Are you sure that's actually in the help files? I've never looked, but I can't imagine that Microsoft would give away such wonderful code.

Holiday? Hmmm.....

It was very relaxing, almost boring.
