i used this code for random numbers when the form loads

Private Sub Form_Load()
      MsgBox(Int(Rnd() * 100000))
End Sub

Its always the same number ?_? it should be between
1 and 100000.
or am i doing it wrong

Before that statement, use the Randomize function to seed the random number generator based on the system clock.

Sure:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub Form_Load()
      ' This seeds the randomizer - makes it generate random numbers based on the time
      Randomize
      MsgBox(Int(Rnd() * 100000))
End Sub
