IF there is not a field that you could use as a comparison, like an ID field, then you could open up the table, search the each record (do loop/for each) for matching text to the current message text and then move to the next record and display that. When you get to EOF, then just go to the first record and display that message. Long way around, but sometimes you are forced to do things in code you nromally would have to do because of bad database design.
