>Mike, thanks for your response. But wouldn't your solution imply reading all the records at the server-side after all ?

This is true. You do have to generate the entire result set, or at least a keyset, on the server for each page. But, in a couple of years of trying to find a solution, this is the best that I've seen and used that does not involve dynamic SQL.

RV??
