How do I randomly select numbers from 1 through 20. Spent hours trying different methods. Any thoughts? Please.
Thanks,
Tony

    what about something like (didn't try it, just an idea):

    X VAR WORD
    X = 12345 'random seed value

    RANDOM X
    X = X // 20 + 1 'x mod 20 gives 0..19, that +1 gives 1..20
