bug

]
Private Sub Form_Load()
Randomize
Number = Rnd * 100 + 1
Highscore.LoadScores 4, 999, "Empty", "Guess", False
MsgBox Number
End Sub
 
In this sub Number is supposed to be a random number between [1,100] but with the actual code the range
will be [1,101]
Two solutions are:
 
      Number = Rnd * 99 + 1
      or
      Number = Int (Rnd * 100) + 1
