texte = I wrote similar code to generate a database of 1000 random 7 character encryptions seeds.The reason i used a database was that i wanted random alpha-numeric characters not just numbers which is not 100% what your doing - sorry.Anyway - i'm a bit shorty this morning. sick as a dog and stuff that was working has stopped working and theres no apparent reason and thats about the fastest way to piss me off. didn't mean to take it out on you.I do want to throw my copy of webcat out the friggin window however and a more stable development platform with real code and real databases is looking more and more enticing.aaarrrrrgggh! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Strong
