Do something like this...



The function Rnd will return a number between 0 and 1. To increase this to 

a range of integers, multiply by the upper bound (for example,

 Int(10 * Rnd) would create a number between 0 and 10). If you're going to 

be generating random numbers in a loop then you'll need to reseed on every 

iteration. To do this, use the Randomize key word, otherwise 

you'll "generate" the same number over and over.

I found this in help.  I haven't tried it myself



Set Tools = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.Tools")

<% = Tools.Random %> will display a random integer between -32768 to

32767. For example, -13067.

<% = ( Abs( Tools.Random ) ) %> will display a positive random integer.

For example, 23054.

<% = ( Abs( Tools.Random ) ) Mod 100 %> will display a random integer

between 0 and 99. For example, 63.

 

Good luck!
