I have my query echoing out. Upon initial display it looks like this: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ( SELECT TOP 10 Value1, Value2 FROM ( SELECT TOP 10 Value1, Value2 FROM my_table WHERE my_table.column = 'P' ) as newtbl order by PKEY desc ) as newtbl2 order by PKEY asc And then when I click on the link to take it to page 2, it looks like this: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ( SELECT TOP 10 Value1, Value2 FROM ( SELECT TOP 20 Value1, Value2 FROM my_table WHERE my_table.column = 'P' ) as newtbl order by PKEY desc ) as newtbl2 order by PKEY asc But still the same problem of the displayed results being the same every time.
