This is because the Expression parameter is used as a starting point for the next number.The Rnd function only returns values ranging from 0 to 1. To generate random integers in a given range, use the formula in the following example:Example:Sub ExampleRandomSelectDim iVar As IntegeriVar = Int((15 * Rnd) -2)Select Case iVarCase 1 To 5Print "Number from 1 to 5"Case 6, 7, 8Print "Number from 6 to 8"Case Is > 8 And iVar < 11Print "Greater than 8"Case ElsePrint "Outside range 1 to 10"End Selectend sub
