Default random numbers

Thanks Gary.

Works Great.

The other responses look easy too...however, I got an unrecognized name
error. I'm using Excel 2003 - is randbetween a formula in 2007?

'get values in C3 and C5

'create random #s
For dbl = 1 To dblRandNos
ActiveCell.Offset(dbl - 1, 0).Value = _
Int(Rnd() * dblMax) + 1
Next dbl

End Sub

Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I am trying to generate a list of random numbers based on the results in a
couple cells.

Cell C3 contains a number that is input by the user.

Cell C5 contains the results of a formula - related to the number in C3

I would like to create X number of random numbers, where X = C5, and all of
the random numbers must be integers between 1 and the value in cell C3

I've tried a few things based on some other posts, and using some sorting,
but haven't been able to do this successfully. Any help / suggestions would
be appreciated.

Thanks.
