why not put them in a database, with asort order, and whatever day of
the month it is, show that based on the sort order numbered from 1-28 or
something like that? or just do it randomly.where each page refresh
would show a new one?

Since there are only 40, it's no big deal to get the whole lot from the
database and get CF to choose. Int(now()) converts today into an integer.
You can use mod to turn that daily number into a recurring cycle..
cfquery name=tips
SELECT.
/cfquery
cfset tipNum = (int(now()) mod

How about flag the tip record with a bit field called 'live'. Then you can
see the tip that's live, and then take the next tip in whatever order you
have them.

Well this is kind of what I am trying to do...
I want to automate it though so that all I have to do is keep adding
tips and the system will just continue to rotate through them either
randomly or in order either
