well what do you know, you learn a bit of C every day, or at least I do

Rand()%20 will produce a number between 0 and 20, then apply Shawn's 
idea of taking half of it away and you get a range between -10 and 10

its the Rand()%20 bit I didn't know about...

Jon I was thinking of tables but I needed a few different ranges and so 
wanted to avoid them.

Again thanks all for your help
