Random Number Generation

I have generated a random number on "OnOpenForm" Trigger of a form.
i.e. whenever one user opens this form, it should generate a random number. it is working. but if 2 users are working , and one has opened the form (for this user, random number will be generated as he opens the form). And at the same time if second user opens the form, ate same number is being generated as of 1st user. but i want to generate th diff no. ow it is posssible.. pls help

For what kind of proces are you using this random number?
Does the number get saved in a record?
How do you generate the number?

Are you using RANDOMIZE to seed the number generation?
