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 wanted to take a moment and let you know what an asset Donna Tackett is to your organization. I can not tell you how many times she has helped me understand direct mail as well as the software. She has definitely become my “go to “ person when it comes to doing a mailing. Always professional and personable, I can’t brag about her enough.
