    Expression Box text

    is it possible to randomise text displayed in an expression box? I have set up a box on my form for announcements that will automatically retrieve the content from an access data base table and display it in the announcements box. The Access table has an ID as the primary key. Is there any way to get the text to randomise on opening the sheet and the box formula randomly retrieving a line ID, thus displaying different text each time?hope that makes since

    thanks

    If you want to generate a random number, you'll have to write custom code.  Alternatively, qRules has a GenerateNumber function which you can use to generate a random ID without having to write your own code.
