Reply: (edit)Use the file list box to get a list of files in the directory. Then use the Rnd function to select one of them Int((File(index)* Rnd ) Will return a number between Zero and the maximum number of files in the list. Stuart

Reply: (edit)That doesnt work. (Even after i add the extra bracket). I have a list stored in an array called 'files' now. All i wanna do is copy a random item from that array into a variable. Can i use Rnd to select an item via it's index and copy it into the variable? Anyone?
