[thelist] Access DB & getting random records using ASP

[david.landy at somerfield.co.uk]

Julian,

RANDOMIZE initialises the random number generator in ASP. (Same as in VB and
VBA.) I'm not 100% clear but AFAIK you need to do it to prevent the same
sequence of random numbers being generated over and over.

HTH,

David.

One other thing, what is the RANDOMIZE statement all about?  I cannot 
find any reference to it in my ASP 3.0 books.
