You can reseed the random number generator with the Randomize() function, but that may not be your problem.
<CFSET random_number=RandRange(1, 10)> <CFOUTPUT> #random_number# #random_number# #random_number# </CFOUTPUT> Here you set a single variable to a random value, then you output it on the page three times. The variable's value isn't going to change each time. If you made "random_numer" a user defined function, then it may do what you're looking for. Or create three different variables and set each one using RandRange(). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 5:10 PM Subject: Question on randomizing multiple times on the same page > Hi gurus, > > Currently I've setup a variable like so: > > <CFSET random_number=RandRange(1, 10)> > > Now, when I call it in output: > > <CFOUTPUT> > #random_number# > </CFOUTPUT> > > It works fine and generates a random number (i.e. 5).
