squidley Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Is it normal that the Random function always starts with the same number? For that matter, it always uses the same sequence for me. Is there any way to reseed this so it seems more random (even though I know it's not truly random). It does me little good to have my random function start from the same number each time. Here is a sample file that I built with a button that populates a field with a random number when pressed. Whenever I close and reopen the file, it goes through the same sequence. http://mindbendtoo.biz/filemaker/ "random-test.zip" is the file Here is the sequence I get: .87584429228484828034 .086323888546938024047 .46119167956579087964 .88877338724619403543 .21123376591654205447 etc. What are my options? Thanks.
