Dear Cf'ers:
I have the below query that gets companies alphabetically (stupid, eh?) -
the problem is, the companies don't like it because, being ordered by
company name, it gives preference to those that begin with the first
letters of the alphabet. Can anyone think of a way to order this list in a
random fashion each time it is envoked??
Thank you all for your consideration.
Tom
