GUI building a table

im curious... im using a database editor where you can view a database via the internet and then update delete and add to that database via the web. it all works fine but im trying to place my delete and update info into a similar table but every time i add the table cell tags the links no longer work, i mean they not even there anymore. here is a sample:

THIS WORKS
Response.Write("<tr bgcolor='" & sColor & "'>")
Response.Write ("<a href=""delete_entry.asp?ID=" & rsDatabase("ID_no") & """>")
Response.Write(rsDatabase("EvtMsnSqn").Value)
Response.Write("</a>")
Response.Write(rsDatabase("CSBuno").Value)
Response.Write(rsDatabase("TO").Value)

THIS DOESN'T
Response.Write("<tr bgcolor='" & sColor & "'>")
Response.Write ("<a href=""delete_entry.asp?ID=" & rsDatabase("ID_no") & """>")
Response.Write("<td>" & rsDatabase("EvtMsnSqn").Value & "</td>")
Response.Write("</a>")
Response.Write("<td>" & rsDatabase("CSBuno").Value & "</td>")
Response.Write("<td>" & rsDatabase("TO").Value & "</td>")

Garv, I think you're going to need to explain your problem a little better.

What database editor are you using?
What error message are you getting, if any?
What code are you using to connect to the database?
What other code do you have that could affect the output?

Cheers,
Andrew
