Keith,
This is a ColdFusion caching issue. If you run the query directly in Access,
I understand you want to stay with access for whatever reason. But
consider how much trouble this is for you.. Are you sure you aren't able
to use a different database (or convince your client that he should move
up)? I mean, access can only handle 1 user at a time anyway.. That alone
should be
> ORDER BY Rnd(fld_page_ID)
This command keeps pulling the same order, even if I close the browser. If they
go back to the main page I would like possibility of having a different news
item appear.

Keith,
You can pull a random record from Access by using the Rnd() function. So your
query would look like this:
select fld_page_ID, fld_title, fld_body, fld_attach_ID, fld_url,
fld_active_date, fld_inactive_date
from tbl_marketing_pages
where fld_item_type = "n"
and fld_act
Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that and I didn't work.

Well, Access isn't a database.
If you gave several sites, why not just make them in oracle?
I mean, why use access at all?

MS SQl server lets you order by newid()
ie.
select * from My_Table
order by newid()
I have no clue if this works in Access or not.

this is not the only program or site running off of access database, we do have
oracle and I know I could use where rownum = #randomID#, but I am looking for
an access solution.

I created a random record generator for pulling current news items. I am using
an access database for the back end and would like to know if anyone has a
better solution. This code works, but I think I'm missing something. Thank you
in advance Keith.
