Re: [wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP
Ugh - After I started looking at this I realized that it's an Access DB - not SQL Server (which I'm used to working with). I'm guessing that might be the difference? in general, you cannot use the same SQL in different database systems in particular, you can almost never use the same SQL in one microsoft product (Access) as another microsoft product (SQL Server) however, in this case, bofadem* support TOP, so you're okay ;o) * i just cannot pass up an opportuinity to use one of my favourite words, bofadem The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

RE: [wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP
No, you didn't miss it! :) Here is the original - "SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate" Without anything, I will get 10 events listed on the page. If I try "SELECT TOP 5 * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate", then I only get the first 2 events. If I put it at the end like this "SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate TOP 5", then I get an error message: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'StartDate TOP 5'.

My quick Google suggests that that would be the correct answer. What goes wrong with it?

Any thoughts? Where are these events coming from?
