Thread: Has the behaviour of rnd() changed in 7.x?

Has the behaviour of rnd() changed in 7.x? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm not sure if the behaviour here has changed since our upgrade from 6.2.2 to 7.2.1, but something weird is going on with a random password generator script.

I have a simple line of code to contribute a number to a generated password (it's on the Contact Detail view's onChange method)

'if password is blank then
' ...
strPasswordPart3 = CInt(999 * Rnd() + 1)
' ...
'end if

But from HISTORY I've noticed that it's been using the number 580 for the last few hundred passwords.

I've now added Randomize before the call to rnd(), but I don't think I had to do this before.

'if password is blank then
' ...
Randomize
strPasswordPart3 = CInt(999 * Rnd() + 1)
' ...
'end if

Very odd.

Nothing has changed in the vbscripting engine AFAIK.

Heh, I kind of guessed as much. Very strange though, must be something quirky in my code.

Additional note.. I am aware that if there was an update to the Microsoft vbscripting engine it can impact SalesLogix.
