This is an example of a "Tip of the Day"
form.  There is a table which contains
all of the tips.  After first testing if
the user wants the tips to open, and upon the
Load Event of the Tips Forms, a random number
function "Int(Total * Rnd + 1)" is used to retrieve
a specific record.  "Total" represents the
total number of records contained in the tips
table.

I also added a WEEKDAY function to test for Monday,
if it is the user option of turning the tips on/off
is reset to ON.  This is handy in a network environment
where one user turns it off when another may want it on.
Of course, you could always add another field to
the user option table to include their user name, but...

You will also notice that there is a procedure used
that allows for the customization of the front-end
with a personal salutation.  It is useful in a network
environment or when you are using a specific workgroup.
I use the "First Name" info for everything from
stamping transactions to customizing reports.

Feedback is appreciated...
