Create a random number within Crystal Reports version 8.5

Hello;
Can someone help me?
I need to create a random number within Crystal Reports version 8.5

Rnd() created a random number between zero and 1. Multiply it by say 100, and use the int() function to turn it into an integer. Multiply it by a larger number if desired.

To add to that, you can create a new formula {@random}:

rnd()

Add this to your detail section, and then use it as your sort field. You can then suppress (for example) all but the first record and you will have a randomly selected record.

Each time you refresh though, the formula will change and a different record will appear.
