Please remember that the quality of the built-in random generator in MapInfo isn't good.
See www.routeware.dk/mapbasic_rnd.png and compare with www.routeware.dk/delphi_rnd.png for a better generator. Anybody who wants to use it can grab the sample code from www.routeware.dk/download/random_points.zip Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben A Greenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Morrier, Steve'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 8:42 PM Subject: RE: MI-L Random Number Ranges....

Hi All, Is there a way to update a column with random numbers that fall within a certain range? I would like to update 500+ records with a value between 5 and 150. Is this possible?
