Ken uploaded a sample called DailyTotals, I think, that shows how to perform something only once a day. As for the rest, you can pick 4 by doing a search with a random sort and max=4, then either render those 4 out to a static HTML page, or mark them in your catalog as being today's specials. If you add a field that marks them as specials, then you can create a price formula that does the discount if it sees the 'specials' flag set.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
