Sample Selection from Access Tables - Urgent Audit - HELP!!!

Guest

To whom it may concern -

I have an Access table with 78,000 records. I need to pull a random sample
of 130 records from this table based on dollar amount ( a field on the
table). The table is to large to push to Excel and use the sampling function.
How would you do this in Access, or do you have any suggestions to do this?

Thank you in advance
