Lowell (4/6/2009)
I like Lynn's a lot more; having a view with just a newid in it is more useful, since i could use the same view for other purposes.my code was a verbatim copy of one of her examples anyway, i just made it a function.
Two things, Lowell. One, I thought the code looked familiar, and two, I'm a he. Don't worry, others here have mad the same mistake, and after many years I have learned to shrug it off.
