At the moment I can display a database driven links page in ont column using ASP code as follows:

   Response.Write ("<a href=""" & "http://" & RSUser("url") & """ target=""_blank"">")
   Response.Write (RSUser("titletext")) 'the title of the website
   Response.Write ("</a>") 
   Response.Write ("<br/>")
   Response.Write (RSUser("info")) 'info about website 
   Response.Write ("<br/>")

That displays a list list of links, I would like to adapt that so that there are two colums of links reading in order as shown below

A B

[empty line]

C D

[empty line]

E F

[empty line]

Is this possible using an access database (I would order the links on the page not in the database, I have the command for ordering the list.

Well you could do it the EASY way ....



' Initialise counter

x = 0



Do while not rs.eof



link stuff here 



' Here's yer new line

if x mod 2 = 0 then response.write <br>



x = x + 1



rs.movenext

loop
