Ahh I see, I put the * infront of TOP Also, you probably want to put this as a stored procedure and pass in the parameters @curentPage INT, @rowPerPage INT SELECT * FROM ( SELECT TOP 20 * FROM (SELECT TOP ( ( @rowPerPage * @curentPage ) + @rowPerPage ) yourColumn1, yourColumn2 FROM yourTable C ORDER BY C.yourOrderColumn ASC) B ORDER BY B.yourOrderColumn DESC ) A ORDER BY A.yourOrderColumn ASC Taco Fleur - Pacific Fox an industry leader with commercial IT experience since 1994 . http://www.pacificfox.com - Web Design and Development ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
