[AccessD] Random ina query

  I forgot to add a field to the call, but otherwise, that will work. With
it defined as I posted, it would get called once at the start of the query.
It needs to be Rnd([<fieldname>]).   If you don't have a non-zero numeric
field, you can do Rnd(Len([<field name>])

  But other then that, it does work.

Jim.

Hi Jim

Not you! I've posted that code many times here and 14 times at [you know
where] since 2004.

I even found my function here (with left out credits of course):

  Yup.  Define a column as Rnd(1), sort on that column and set the TOP
predicate for the query for the number of records you want.
