Yes: you're creating a new Random object within the loop, and drawing just the first item in each such random sequences. Numbers are random only *within* a sequence; not between sequences, as you found. The LR warns against this, but it's a very common mistake anyway. At the very least, you should create only one random object, outside the loop. Better still would be to make it static, so you have only one per whole run of your app, like so: static r as New Random Best, - Joe -- Joe Strout -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verified Express, LLC "Making the Internet a Better Place" http://www.verex.com/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
