I'm trying to adapt a PHP script that was written to use MySQL, so that
it will work with an MSAccess MDB file.

An important part of the script makes use of the SQL "LIMIT" keyword
available in MySQL. eg: "SELECT MyField FROM MyTable LIMIT 40,10" to
select 10 records beginning at the 41st record.

Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this same functionality when using
ODBC functions to access an MDB file? I think I can set ROWCOUNT (or
possibly TOP) to retrieve only 10 records but how do I get it to start
at the 41st record?

You just lost an enormous amount of functionality. I'm assuming this is
something you had to do.

Pull all of the records and then programatically strip out the records you
don't want from the array.

are you out of your fucking mind?!!!

yeah, let me pull all the records from my 55 million rowed table into a php
array...THEN strip out the unwanted ones from the array. hell, let's just
put the records into a text file and pull them from there...build our own
php query functionality for the file. while we're at it, we'll run our lil
'query' in a loop. and, for good measure...

you've got to be fucking kidding...right?!!!
