Les,
Forget what you've heard about randrange not really being random. The following piece
of code GUARANTEES that the number WILL be random.
<!-- begin -->
<cfapplication name="randrange" clientmanagement="Yes" sessionmanagement="Yes"
setclientcookies="Yes" clientstorage="Registry">
<cfparam name="session.randrangelist" default="">
<cfset newnum = RandRange(1,7)>
<cfloop condition="session.randrangelist contains newnum">
<cfset newnum = RandRange(1,7)>
</cfloop>
<cfset session.randrangelist = "#ListAppend(session.randrangelist, newnum)#">
<cfoutput>
List: #session.randrangelist#<br>
Current Random Number: #newnum#
</cfoutput>
<cfif ListLen(session.randrangelist) gt 6>
<cfset session.randrangelist = "">
</cfif>
<!-- end -->
