random number code

I would like to assign random numbers to certain fields when records are added. Is there code that can do that?

There will be if you write it!

How about something like this:

SELECT CAST(RAND()*100000 AS INT)

Change the 100000 to whatever you want your upper limit to be (within the limits of the datatype you are storing it to).
