reading specific record

it possible to read a specific record in database and display fields associated with that record

You can access the results from a query as an array with:

$Recordset->Results

So if you want to get a random record from that result set you could just use:

<?php var_dump(array_rand($rsiPupil->Results)); ?>

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

If the record has been deleted then it won't be in the results array. Is the record not being deleted but being cleared of data in the database? I'm not sure the problem you are actually incurring, so I can't advise on how to correct it. Can you give me an example with more details?
