How to generate numbers in vb randomly

 

Hi Heather Carr,

Rnd Function

Every time the Rnd function is used, a novel pseudo-random value is revisit. The values returned are constantly less than one (1), but greater than or equal to zero (0). That is to state, VB produces random numbers which may be as low as zero (0), but will never attain the value of one (1). 
0 = Rnd 1

The values in that series may not appear very helpful but there's an easy formula for exchange the values returned by Rnd into a more useful range: 
Int((HighestValue – LowestValue + 1) * Rnd) + LowestValue
Initiate a function that summarizes this formula will aid abridge the generation of pseudo-random values. 

Thanks
