Yes.
But not too often.
Sometimes never.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

True random means just that ... *ANY* number can come up, and sometimes its
a duplicate of what came up before.

However, you can create a specific set of numbers, and then display them in
random *order*.
That eliminates the possibility of duplicates.

If you're interested in such a procedure, post back with some particulars
.... BUT use the body of the message, not just the subjet line.
