Amy writes "How can I only return a certain number of rows from a sql query?

I want to be able to display the first 50 on the page, then provide "Next 50" and "Previous 50" buttons
for the user to page through the results without scrolling through hundreds on records on one page.

Thanks,
Amy"

search here for articles on "whats after top" and seperate ones on "paging"


one or the other or both will help you on your way.

You will probably need to manage this through code on your front end, which sounds like ASP.
It sounds like you don't really want to limit the number of rows returned, only the number of rows displayed. And SQL Server doesn't handle displays on its own.
