rnd(1000)-500

so if rnd=700

700-500=200

if rnd=350

350-500=-150

all you need to do is know what range you want and then add the offset from zero, so 32 to 76=

rnd(44)+32

ie

if rnd=44

44+32=76

if rnd=0

0+32=32

cheers.

no problem, being right for once happens more often the more you do btw

The more you program the more that'll happen.
