Hi,

I have a access db for my hotwheels collection. I want to create an app where the first page has the categories of all cars. When you click on a category you should come to a page with all a list of all the years for which there are cars in that category (Ie: 'Nascar' has the years '1995,1996,1997,etc'), then on this page when you click on a date you should get a listing of all the cars for that year.

How do I get it to give me a list of dates for a single category?

use a distinct query when you get the page... something like this:

SELECT DISTINCT year FROM cars WHERE category LIKE '"& request("catID" &"'

this will give you a list of all years within that category. When the user clicks on one of the years, the next query can look like this:

SELECT * FROM cars WHERE category LIKE '"& reqyuest("catID" &"' AND year = '"& request("year" &"'

hope that helps

Your other option is to create a querry for each catagory in Access and then access that querry when you load that page...
