This is kind of interesting ... $query="SELECT * FROM quiettimequotation WHERE used = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; works; $query="SELECT * FROM bibleverses WHERE 'used' = 0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; doesn't! Having the ' around used makes that select command fail --- but the UPDATE command requires it! Thanks for those of you who responded to my question below. I am creating a mailing list for my web site that I am wanting each entry which is randomly selected from the database to only be used once and not be available again until the entire list has been used. I needed the UPDATE command to change the used column all back to 0 again once the last entry had been selected from the database. I think I like programming mySQL stuff :) Ron --- >Does the UPDATE command only change one row or each occurance if the the >criteria repeat itself through the table?
