' 2: Add a new field to the new table
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("tblTemp")

rst.MoveFirst

rst.Edit
rst![RandomNumber] = Rnd()
rst.Update

' 4: Sort the data by the random number and move the top 25 into a new table

' 5: Delete the temporary table
db.TableDefs.Delete ("tblTemp")

If you have Spaces in either Table or Field Names, they must be enclosed in Brackets, as in:

strSQL = "SELECT [tblWoodrow Odom].ReviewTopic,[tblWoodrow Odom].TeamMember1, [tblWoodrow Odom].TeamMember2, [tblWoodrow Odom].TeamMember3, [tblWoodrow Odom].[TeamMember 4]" & _
"INTO tblTemp " & _
"FROM [tblWoodrow Odom];"
 
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

Thanks for responding to my post. I will try it and let you know if it worked.
