Hi Darrell,

The problem is that as soon as total = gnLower the num1 value is not changing. No matter what is rand():

INT(rand()+ whole_number)= whole_number



>I'm having some issues with the code below where that causes my app to freeze up. This code is in a scan..endscan where I create the 2 numbers below and then update values in a table. The code does not freeze up consistently but I can duplicate it if I run it enough but there is no particular pattern to the problem. any ideas?
