>>>Hello Ahmad!
>>>
>>>You can suppport all the tasks on a single ASP page using a parameter. First define the valid values your parameter will recognize, for example: if the page is requested with no parameter value then display the first record, use "P" for "Previous page" and "N" for "Next page". Then include the parameter value on your navigation tags. Assuming your page name is "gbook.asp" you could write:
>>>
>>>

href="gbook.asp?action=P"

>>>for the previous record anchor tag reference and
>>>

href="gbook.asp?action=N"

>>>for the next record anchor tag reference.
>>>
>>>Then you could code your page by analyzing the value of the parameter in your ASP code:
>>>
>>>

>>>value=Response.QueryString("action")
>>>if action="P" then
>>>   Retrieve previous record information here
>>>else
>>>   if action="N" then
>>>      Retrieve next record information here
>>>   else
>>>      Get and show first record info
>>>   end if
>>>end if
>>>

>>>Sorry for jumping in, but wanted to contribute with my two cents. Hope this helps!
