	I have seen code where 'random' records could be pulled from the data. But it has been a long time and I would have to do some research (on the internet) to see if I could find the code again. Also I am not sure if is truly random or just sampling the data.

	You can use Rand()...You should seed it with a value that changes every record. You will need to manipulate a little. I cannot seem to post a snippet, you will have to Google it.
