You need a seed to generate a sequence of random numbers and if you always start with the same seed, you'll always get the same random sequence. In order to have a different seed each time you need it, use the current time. For example, if you need to make 100 shuffles, first get a sequence of 100 numbers (using the current time as the seed for the generation of the sequence). Then use each of these 100 numbers to generate a shuffle. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play
