With Microsoft SQL Server 2005, paging on the database side is simple.  There is a built-in ROW_NUMBER function designed specifically for this task.  However, versions of SQL Server prior to 2005 do not have this capability.  Below is one way to implement similar functionality in pre-2005 versions. 

SELECT TOP X * FROM RECORDS WHERE RecordID NOT IN (SELECT TOP Y RecordID FROM RECORDS)You must replace X and Y with actual integer values, Unfortuantly, due to sql sytanx, you can’t use varaibles.  The records returned from the above query will followY + 1 = Beginning record
X + Y + 1 = Ending Record

So 10 and 20 plugged in to X and Y respectively would return records 21 thorugh 31.
