[AccessD] A2003: Random order

Hi Steve

Yes, but follow the guide from Shamil for the SQL Server spedifics.
You can use that also if you need to create the temp table.

Gustav,

Hmmm, are you talking about something like this?:

SELECT QID AS TestQID, RAND([QID]) AS RndID
FROM OrgQuestions
ORDER BY RAND([QID])

The RAND() function in SQL Server has the same limitation that the Access
RND() function does, though; that is, the "random" number that's generated
in the query will be the same for every record, won't it?
