Things to note: 'total_questions' should be filled in programatically.

It should reflect the number of documents in your doc collection or view that you are going to select docs from. 'how_many' is the number of random documents to select Once you have run randomizer() the outlist array will contain the document number to use in getnthdocument. example usage: forall x in outlist doc = view.getnthdocument(x) endforall --or-forall x in outlist doc = collection.getnthdocument(x) endforall Any questions on this scripts can be sent to me at: redline@thereeses.net Custom test dbs can also be developed.. for a price of course ;-) Option Public Dim tarray() As Integer Dim outlist() As Integer Dim total_questions As Integer Sub Initialize Call randomizer() End Sub Function randomizer() Dim anum As Integer Dim how_many As Integer Dim place As Integer ' Total number of questions to choose from total_questions% = 50 ' How many do you want? how_many% = 10 Redim outlist(0 To (how_many%-1)) 'Create number array total_questions% = total_questions% -1 Redim tarray(0 To (total_questions%)) For x = 0 To (total_questions%)

tarray(x) = x+1 Next 'Now shuffle the numbers For place = 0 To (how_many%-1) anum% = Round(Rnd()*total_questions%,0) outlist(place) = tarray(anum%) Call reorg(anum%) Next End Function Function reorg(place As Integer) Dim x As Integer 'Remove selected and slide down rest For x = place To (total_questions%-1) tarray(x) = tarray(x+1) Next 'Take one from total_questions total_questions% = total_questions% -1 Redim Preserve tarray(0 To total_questions%) End Function
