Thanks for the quick response! However, I am not sure this will work.
Maybe I can clarify... I want the page to automatically choose a
different dealer to display automatically every week. Just like a
random sort except not every time you load the page, I only want the
code to choose a new dealer every week. If I save the temp time to
the db, it would only work once (?) for the first week? Please
correct me if I am not following....
