? INT(1000 * RAND( ) + 1)

>Instead of using 1000 in the equation above, use 999. The +1 could give you 1001, if RAND() returns 1 which it could.

I was going to suggest that, but I did a small test

do while .T.
 if ( int( 1000 * rand() + 1 ) > 1000 )
   ? "Error"
  endif
enddo

I let it run for 1/2 hour without getting "Error" printed. It is just a possibility that 1001 could be generated, but very unlikely.

could try

? round( 999 * rand() + 1, 0 )
