texte = Grant you said to bring up the random sort when 4 got into beta.Now? Linux, webcat 3.08I have an opt-in subscribers.db which is growing daily. I want to pick a random winnerof a prize from that db each week.I use:[Search db=subscribers.db&wnEmailAddressdata=feeling-goods.com&EmailAddresswbrk=@&subscriberNumsort=1&subscriberNumsdir=ra&max=1&allhit=1]I hit the template and it displays one record. I force reload the page and get adifferent result. I force reload a third time and I see the same result as the firstloading... I *always* get one of two records (after force reloading about 25times)... until another subscriber opts in. Then it's a different pair of recordsthat come up every reload. etc.-John#############################################################This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
