This seems to work preety nice but the only problme i am having is I want to allow the user to sort by field names . My sql works just fine without the order by clause.The order by clause keeps returning the same values. How can i use an order by clause my sql is as follows select top 50 matid,title,comment from table where matid not in (select top 100 matid from table) order by matid desc Thanks I am almost there i think.

The reports work just fine except that we have like 19000 records per report. I would like to do some paging within the reports 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 so that a user can view may be 1000 records per page and can navigate to other pages if needed.
