Thanks Dave. The SecureRand() call is about 1000 times slower than a
call with RAND() so what I've done is mix the use of SecureRand() and
RAND(). By calling SecureRand() where it is more iterative, but use the
RAND() in the SQL SELECT statement.
nRandomRecords = INT( SecureRand()*10 ) + 1
SELECT TOP (nRandomRecords) RAND() AS nRand, * FROM Customers ORDER BY
nRAND INTO CURSOR c_Customers

Kevin,
This should do your job:
"I've created a wrapper function to replicate the functionalilty of RAND() but
instead using the CryptGenRandom call"
