If that's the case just do this:
<cfquery name="selectrandomrecord" datasource="MINE">
SELECT *
FROM QUOTES
</cfquery>
<cfset RandNum = #RandRange(1,selectrandomrecord.RecordCount)#>
<CFLOOP QUERY="selectrandomrecord">
<CFIF CurrentRow EQ #RandNum#>
<CFOUTPUT>
Random Record No = #selectrandomrecord.ID#<BR>
Quote = #selectrandomrecord.Quote#<BR>
Author = #selectrandomrecord.Author#
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

Subject: Re: Random Record
well what i want to be able to do is like show a random quote from a table
of quotes....
Now some may be deleted, some may be added, in which the
<cfset Random = #RandRange(1, table.RecordCount)#>
would not work because the "ID" numbers in the table would be changing, is
there a way to specify like a certain Row number in my SQL WHERE statement?
like...
<cfquery datasource="ds" name="random">
SELECT *
FROM Quotes
WHERE ***TableRow = Random Row***
</cfquery>
can that type of function be completed???
