I need to generate a Unique Reference number that has 7 digits.
It should be formatted in the following way:
1st: B (Ball), G (Gift), C (Cat)
2nd: represents year of booking A(2010), B(2011),C(2012), etc
3rd: represents the month of booking J(Jan),F(Feb),M(Mar),A(Apr),Y(May), U(Jun), L(Jul),G(Aug), S(Sep),O(Oct),N(Nov),D(Dec)
4th: days of booking A(1st) - Z(26th), 1(27th) - 5(31st)
5,6,7th: These are counters for the number issues each day. Each can be A-Z,0-9 giving a total of 46,656 combinations. So 0 is first, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A-Z, then 00 to 0Z, then 10 to 1Z, then 20 to 2Z, etc
Now , the 1st Digit is a Character that I generate based on a condition and that shouldn't be a problem.

USE [iBankRecords] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[stp_addPayee] Script Date: 07/05/2010 21:57:07 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROC [dbo].[stp_addPayee] ( @CUSTID char(10), @PAYEEACCNUM nvarchar(20), @PAYEEACCTYPE char(10) , @PAYEENAME char(20), @PAYERINITIAL char(20), ) AS DECLARE @ReturnValue int INSERT INTO PAYEE (CUSTID, PAYEEACCNUM,PAYEEACCTYPE,PAYEENAME,PAYERINITIAL, REF) VALUES (@CUSTID,@PAYEEACCNUM,@PAYEEACCTYPE,@PAYEENAME,@PAYERINITIAL, REF) IF @@ERROR<>0 BEGIN PRINT 'ERROR' SET @ReturnValue=1 RETURN @RETURNVALUE END ELSE BEGIN SET @ReturnValue=0 RETURN @RETURNVALUE END

I was able to find examples throughout the internet that more or less accomplished what I needed to be done, but now I have run into some problems. I need to be emailed the form data when the users submits it and then the user needs to be redirected to a thank you page, in this case "thanks.asp". I have been unable to get the form to redirect users to the thanks page, and in my efforts I think I might have messed the email process up as well.

how to pull a RANDOM item from the database when using LINQ. There seems to be a couple of differnet ways to handle this. What I need to do though is pull a RANDOM item from the database that the user has not seen before.

Should I put a cookie on the users system recording the IDs of which items they have seen, pull a random record, check to see if it is seen and if so, pull from the database again? That seems like performance issues just waiting to happen.
