I hope you realise those directions only work for US keyboards (might work for UK too, never seen those), but just about every other keyboard layout it's in a different place (like on DK keyboards it's next to the backspace key, and you have to first hit, then hit space, to make it show up alone, because it's actually an accent aigu)... not sure where Ron is from, but it is something worth considering when giving keyboard directions ...

This is kind of interesting ... $query="SELECT * FROM quiettimequotation WHERE used = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; works; $query="SELECT * FROM bibleverses WHERE 'used' = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; doesn't! Having the ' around used makes that select command fail --- but the UPDATE command requires it! Thanks for those of you who responded to my question below. I am creating a mailing list for my web site that I am wanting each entry which is randomly selected from the database to only be used once and not be available again until the entire list has been used. I needed the UPDATE command to change the used column all back to 0 again once the last entry had been selected from the database. I think I like programming mySQL stuff :) Ron --- >Does the UPDATE command only change one row or each occurance if the the >criteria repeat itself through the table? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ** IMPORTANT NOTICE This communication is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s) named above.

used is a column name, if you need to surround it use the back ticks (beow the esc key, same button as the tilde (~).
