Random Pictures Records
I have this page where I want to display 3 random pictures in a vertical table. Each picture represents a record in an Access database. The field "picname" holds the name of the picture (e.g. "pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", etc). Each record has a unique ID. How do I go about selecting these 3 records? I want the pictures to alternate everytime someone enters the page or refreshes it. I found a couple of javascript options, but they only choose the picture from within a folder, and I need to be able to link the pictures to each record.I don't know if I made myself clear enough.

I want to take 3 records from a database. The selection must first take any record marked as priority and then random records (so there could be 3 priority records and no more or 1 priority and 2 random etc)
My theory is to build a recordset filtered by records marked priority, and if there are less than 3, build a second recordset of all the other records.
Questions
1, how can I select random records form the second recordset, without selecting the same one twice?
2, OR, could I write a sql statement which would randomly select 3 records from my table
3, Or is they a way I could write a query (view) in Access which would do the whole lot for me (select the priority records and then random records up to 3)?

I have read 10000 opinions on returning random records and I am more
confused now that before I started. I have a small access db that will
contain 20 or so rows with 3 or 4 columns. I like to return a set of 6
distinct rows and display the columns in html. I have seen response.write
and loops but can't I throw the 6 random rows in a array and pull the data
as I need it in the page? Examples?

Here's what i need:
[vbs]
"SELECT * FROM Articles WHERE Category = 'Reviews' and SubCat = {RANDOM CATEGORY} LIMIT 5;"
[/vbs]
Now, I think the last post on the thread I read said the guy could make an Array and just pick a random item out of that...and that makes sense in my case, listing all the Categories and then picking a random one.But, I don't know how to do it! I don't have much experience in arrays

i am currently working on an online test tool using ASP. Now, the questions would be generated randomly from a database(access), so two or more candidates will not have the same question. There will be one question per page. Now, i have successfully generated the radom questions from the database.
But i have a problem which is:
1. When i click the next link to go the next question, my code displays the question on the previous.
2. Also, when i click on the previous link to go back to the previous question my code changes the question from the previously answered to a new question. Code:

I'm trying to create a portion of script that would select x (variable) number of random records from a table.
in PHP, I could do this pretty simply with a line like, "select * from table order by rand() limit x", but the solutions I've seen so far for asp and access involve things like 40 lines of code, selecting the entire contents of a database, creating temporary tables, etc.
Is there any quick and dirty way of doing this?

I have been using this script which basically works fine, with on hitch. I populate a recordset from a database. Then, use the total number of records as a UBound.
I then want to display 9 random records. I get my 9 random images, but for some reason, if I do a sort by ID on the database, the lowest numbered ID file never comes up in the list. Here is my code: Code:

I know there are plenty of threads relating to 'random' records, but non of the code samples seem to return random results each time I refresh the page; or don't show any results at all? The ID numbers for my recordset are not necessarily consecutive numbers (some items may have been deleted). I simply want to feature 2 or 3 random news teasers on my home page WHERE feature="yes". I guess I need to call 3 random id's, and keep looking until a record is returned? I would also like to change the number of 'teasers' displayed via another database table - I can do this later, but the code has to accommodate a flexible way to change how many records are returned.
Here's the Access table:
news (TBL):
id
title
shortdescr
longdescr
feature
If you have a possible answer for me could you please provide sample code and spell it out clearly.

I Have searched the forum but have no solution to this problem.
I want to display my records in a random order. I loop through my records so I don't know how many records will be displayed. I dont want to count the records and then use the TOP statement. I'm looking for a better solution.
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open SELECT test FROM testTable WHERE testId = 1, objConn
Do While Not rs.EOF
Response.Write "<b>" & rs("test") & "</b>" <- I want theese records to be displayed in random order
rs.MoveNext
Loop
Anyone has a solution to this problem?

I have a web page that displays properties for sale. The web page links to a database.
The page shows information in the database and the path to the picture.
The code is:
<p><img border="0" src="file:///D:/HousePics/<%response.write
rsData("id")%>.jpg" width="350" height="262"></p>
the rsData("id")% gives the name of the picture file and appends .jpg to it.
When I browse the page on the local machine the page displays ok and the
graphics show up ok.
When I browse to the page at work the grpahics don't show.
Permissions on the folder 'everyone full control', web sharing is enable
for the site.
