Not sure if it's at typo, but the DSN you created was Killerspin_com2 and the DSN you're trying to reference is killerspin_com. Also, if the Database already exists, don't use Create. Click Select. The location ofhte database isn't important, as long as the DSN can see it. You might want to put it

Hey, One more on efficiency. Basically all the examples I've seen for doing 'windowed dbase queries' (i.e., displaying a limited set of results and providing next/prev paging capabilities) have the same basic format: 1.SELECT * FROM table 2. get the number of rows from result 3. figure out
