Problems with random numbers!

[Quijian]

I am having problems randomizing some numbers. I am using the Randomize without any parameters and then I am using the Rnd functions in a equation. Here is the snippet:

Randomize
cardvalue = Int(14 * Rnd) + 1)

It keeps on giving me the same values each time I run it. I will glady take any solutions. Thanks guys!

Interesting.
I assume the parentheses at the end of the code you supplied is superfluous, and not in the actual code.

If your code is correct and you're still not getting any value, try seeding the Randomize statement with the current datetime stamp.

[tt]Randomize (Now)
cardvalue = Int(14 * Rnd) + 1[/tt]

A pirate walks into a bar with a huge ship's steering wheel down his pants.
The bartender asks, "Are you aware that you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate replies, "Arrrrr! It's driving me nuts!

Holy crap!
Thanks dude!
You are awesome!

No wait a minute...They were different values but I ran it again I got a the exact same answer...sorry...

You mean for example you ran it, got 10,7,4,13,2,7 as random numbers, then ran it again and got 10,7,4,13,2,7 as random numbers?

In testing Randomize (Now) It doesn't appear that the it uses the full precision of the timestamp. Because if I run it over and over again, I get the same number (just doing a debug.print Rnd). However, If I change my clock by an hour I get a different number.

Yeah, it was just an idea I was throwing around...
