Sorry it been a while since I used Access.
Under view create new queries using SQL statements and name them view1, view2, view3 and then use ASP to run the last SQL statement.

Okay, I'm using Access 2002, but although I can create queries, I can't make them using SQL statements.

I really don't know how to make this work. Please help!!

Click on create a new query and it should ask you to add a table, pick any one it doesn't matter. After that you'll be taken to the query builder, look around under the menus for the SQL query builder, there may even be a button that says SQL, once you find it click it and you'll be able to add the view using SQL.

Okay, okay, I think I got it right. I made the queries, and did all you said. My last query, view3, is:

SELECT DISTINCT (storyid) AS storyid, storytitle
FROM ratingdb
GROUP BY storytitle;

But when I try to run the top.asp file, it shows me this error:

Circular reference caused by alias 'storyid' in query definition's SELECT list

What does that mean?? Then when I try to open that query in the database, it gives me the same error. What am I doing wrong?
