I seem to remember something about 32,767 or 32,768 being involved in this somewhere. Not being a math major, but this is a 8 bit number which I believe is the max for the RND function. You will have to add some other mathematics to reach your 370570.

I needed to generate some random numbers between 0 and 370570, and just to check the distribution of numbers, I ran this snippet of code: FOR I = 1 TO 999999 THIS.NUM = RND(370570) NEXT What's odd is that no matter how many times I run this, the distribution of numbers is always completely in the lower 10% of the range (approx). In other words, there are never any numbers generated higher than ~ 33,000. Am I doing something stupidly wrong?
