That would actually work for just getting a certain number of records from a query, but you would have to execute another query to figure out the navigational links he said he wants on the bottom...like google has, << 1 2 3 4 5 >>. So, when I attacked it I figured one query is better then two even if it returns a whole bunch of records in the result that you are not using for that page. How is that for performance? which would be better? Or even, is there an alternative way to figureing out how many records are in a database? Always more then one way to skin a cat. -Brad
