[thelist] Strange problem with ASP (random)

[Bob Fowler]

Chris,

I assume you are using the "rnd" function to choose the image?

If so, you need to use the "randomize" function. This re-seeds the rnd
function with a new seed, usually from the system timer.  If you do not use
this function with "rnd", you will end up using the same seed value each
time it runs (and getting the same result time and again).

Bob.
