The rand.next function that you show will get a random number from 0 to 3. It does not include the upper bound. You need to specify ms.getupperbound(0,ms.getupperbound(0) + 1). From the docs: Return Value A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to minValue and less than maxValue; that is, the range of return values includes minValue but not MaxValue. If minValue equals maxValue, minValue is returned. -- Chris dunawayc[AT]sbcglobal_lunchmeat_[DOT]net To send me an E-mail, remove the "[", "]", underscores ,lunchmeat, and replace certain words in my E-Mail address.

I always forget that.
