Random Item query selection

[sesling]

I have a real head scratcher here. Our Audit department wants to view records that our operators update in our customer account table. They want us to randomly pull records from the table. Is there a query method that will pull records randomly?

You have inadvertently posted your question in the Access Articles section. I'm moving it over to the Access Forum.

This will pull 10 random records, but, of course, you can easily modify that:

SELECT TOP 10 Rnd(Len([PrimaryKeyField])) AS Expr1,YourTable.PrimaryKeyField,YourTable.Field1, YourTable.Field2,YourTable.Field3
FROMYourTable
ORDER BY Rnd(Len([PrimaryKeyField])) DESC;
 

Good Luck!
