>>Our company is creating a sweepstakes application that will randomly select a winner each month. We are having difficulty putting code together that will help us select a winner. We are using one table that has two fields in it. A three letter code (AFS) field and a dateime field. Does anyone have any simple code that might be helpful in selecting a winner or have any ideas on how to generate a winner.

>You could just pick a random-selection winner based on the number of records using RAND(), if there's no other criteria involved...
WinnerId = Random_Priority_List("Relatives", "Friends","Others")
