Goody another easy to answer one :) no harm intended.. it's a perfectly good question
Okay first is it sorted how you want? if so you can use the LIMIT start,len feature of mysql.. for example: select * from table_name order by col_name limit 5,10 will select records 5 to 15 (5+10) if of course there are 10 more to collect otherwise it will just return whatever it finds from the select that is ordered by col_name.. quite simple.. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.
