Randomize([ number ])
A number used to initialize the random-number generator
Initializes the random-number generator
Randomize uses number as a new seed value to initialize the random-number generator used by the Rnd function. The seed value is an initial value that is used to generate a sequence of pseudorandom numbers .
If you do not pass number to the Randomize procedure, the value of the system timer will be used as the new seed value.
Repeatedly passing the same number to Randomize does not cause Rnd to repeat the same sequence of random numbers.
If you need to repeat a sequence of random numbers, you should call the Rnd function with a negative number as an argument immediately prior to using Randomize with any numeric argument.
