I don't know what you are trying to do, but...the function you want is RND. RND returns a floating point number in the range 0 to 1.

doing RND(1) will return an error because there is no operator between RND and what follows.

If you want to get a random number in the range 0 to 10, use something like
t = RND * 10

HTH

or INT(RND * 10) + 1
