Generate a random number of any length

Download and unzip the file linked below directly to your C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0 folder.
https://www.accuzip.com/files/forum/genrandom.zip

Import your list, and create a field that you want the number to be stored in using Edit menu>Fields. The field LENGTH determines the highest random number that will be generated. If the field length is 4, then the highest number could be 9999. Character fields are padded with 0, e.g., 0001

Click on Edit>Command, and run this syntax, substituting the word fieldname with the actual field name you created:

=GenRandom("fieldname")


Click Run.

You can then close the command window, and you'll see a random number filling that field, and they will all be 100% unique.

I just want to take a moment and let the folks at Accuzip know what great support I have received from Mathew Little. He has really helped get our IMB Barcode project off the ground! Learning Accuzip has been a pleasant process and the relief of knowing my project will be installed despite the tight deadline is wonderful! I wish there were more like you doing support at other companies when we need them.
