I didn't show all the code because I created a cursor that will contain random numbers that were generated.

So mainly this is how I do it now, but my weird results were obtained on a timer executing my random generation. Good results obtained on my timer being called every 6 seconds. Not so random numbers each 8 seconds.

>>I need to generate random numbers. I need to get all numbers from 1 to 75 but randomly. I generated those but with a delay. Everything looked good when I generated those numbers with a delay of around 6 seconds. This means that numbers looked realy random. For example numbers generated looked like 25, 47, 12, 59 and so on.

>>A delay of six seconds between generated numbers was not enough. I had to increase the delay to 8 seconds. That's when the weirdest thing happened. The generated numbers didn't really look random. For example generated numbers looked like 23, 34, 45,46,47,48,49,50, 51, 30,31,32,33,34,45.

>>So I assume that the delay is the problem.

>>My solution to that weird problem. I generate all the random numbers without a delay between each generated number.
>>Then I get all the numbers in the order they were generated each 8 seconds.

>>Can anybody explain me why there seems to be a problem with random numbers and a delay?
