How about not using a viewPanel, but binding a panel to a random document from the view using:

var vw:NotesView = database.getView("yourView");

var nrEntries = vw.getEntryCount();

var randomIndex = @Integer( (nrEntries-1) * @Random() + 1 );

vw.getNthDocument( randomIndex );

I read an interesting blog post just recently by Rajeev about attempts to use a dataContext as the data source instead of a dominoView.

I wonder if his methods would suit your proposed solution?

Perhaps this will help - Hope so!

I found an answer to my question in Mark's reply.
