Limit to display matching records in a database does not work

I have been working on a website which allows the user to search a database
and display matching records in a results area. The search works great and
results displays matching records. My problem is that I set a limit of 5
records to be displayed on a page. A query which produces more than 5 matches
in the database displays the first 5 and FrontPage places navigation buttons
after the 5th one. When I click on a button to list the next 5 records, I get
the error message I have designed when no matches are made. "Sorry but I
found no matches for your query." I know there are more records to be
displayed because FP shows page 1 of 2 in the area next to the buttons. Is
this a FP problem or am I doing something wrong. I also use hyperlinks in the
search page to present additional data for displayed records and that works
great too.
Thank you in advance, Regards,
 
If hand coding your ASP,
- check your code for setting adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText from say a adovbs.inc include file
- or use their values if you don't have a current adovbs.inc
(adOpenStatic = 3 , adLockReadOnly = 1, adCmdText = &H0001
- see http://www.asp101.com/samples/db_paging.asp
