~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever wanted to be able to pick a random record? From ANY table or query?

Now it is easy! All you need is ONE form: f_RANDOM_PICKER
All the necessary code is behind this form.  There is a sample table and a few sample queries so you can see how the Random Picker works -- you will use your own tables and queries once this form is in your working database.

To bring the Random Picker into another database, all you have to do is:
1. import the f_RANDOM_PICKER form into your working database
2. compile and save database
3. open the f_RANDOM_PICKER form

When the form opens, there is a combobox that shows the names of your tables and select queries. Choose whatever you want! Then click the "Pick a Winner" command button
