Hope someone can help me with my query dilemma. I'm trying to build an idea generator for 3D modelers. The idea is that users will be able to click a button and it will query the database and return one random result from each column I specify. For example, I built a db called, "ideas.mdb", which has 4 fields (ID, CharacterType, Profession, Environment). Now when a user clicks the button, the query should randomly pick a character, a profession, and an environment. I tried following someone's advice on here by setting the primary key to autonumber and making the future values "random" but I just get an error when trying to preview in asp.net/c#. Normal incrementing works fine, though. I also decided to split everything out so now instead of having the one table, I now have 3 tables with 2 columns (ex. CharacterID, CharacterType) and so on for the other two categories.
So, my questions are:
Can I make one query that pulls data from 3 cols in one table (pulling one result randomly from each column)?
If not, how do I query random results from each table based on (CharacterType, ProfessionType, and EnvironmentType) and not have it repeat very often?
