I want a routine that will choose and display, in a significant-sized window
or form, a cell value (person's name) from a range of cells. Prior to the
final selection, I'd like the window or form to flash other randomly chosen
names, at first rapidly, then more slowly until it stops with the final
selection, similar to that experienced by a roulette wheel. Complementary
sound effects (wheel clicking) a bonus

Any thoughts? Or better, code? :) John

Try Somthing like this in a Stanard Code Module

Sub RandomPicks()
Dim aRange As Range
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Variant
Dim x As Long
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Lastrow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set aRange = Range("A1:A" & Lastrow)

Do Until x = 60
For Each i In aRange
x = x + 1
UserForm1.Label1.Caption = i
Application.Wait (Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, x / 5))
Next
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub

Add a label to a user form and call the pocedure with which ever event you
like.

Redo....

Sub bbb()
Dim MyCell

MyCell = "A" & Int((100 * Rnd) + 1)

Do Until ActiveCell.Address(RowAbsolute:=False) = "$" & MyCell
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

End Sub
