Creating recordset navigation links

Recordset navigation links let users move from one record to the next, or from one set of records
to the next. For example, after designing a page to display five records at a time, you might want
to add links such as Next or Previous that let users display the five next or previous records.
You can create recordset navigation links either by using the Recordset Navigation Bar server
behavior or you can create a custom recordset navigation bar.
