Random Sort
SELECT asa.*
FROM asa WHERE (((randomizer())=0)) ORDER BY Rnd(IsNull([asa].[AsaID])*0+1); Change asa to your table name. For the AsaID field, use a number field. An autonumber field would be best. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.

Put this little function into a Module: Public Function RndNum(vIgnore As Variant) As Double Static bRnd As Boolean If Not bRnd Then 'Initialize the random number generator once only bRnd = True Randomize End If RndNum = Rnd() End Function Then add a calculated field to your Query by typing Shuffle: RndNum([fieldname]) in a vacant Field cell, where [fieldname] is any field in your table - this forces Access to give a different random number for each record. Sort the query by Shuffle. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
