    Try the follwoing format if you have a unique item key (not primary key, I mean column or comibnation of columns that are unique) and the table will be ordered by it.

    For this example I have a States table for our service are that contains some, not all, states and I want the 2nd thru 5th states.

    The table is defined in DDL as

    CREATE TABLE [States] (

    [StateIndex] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,

    [statename] [varchar] (50) NULL ,

    [stateNumber] [varchar] (6) NULL ,

    [Abbrev] [varchar] (2) NOT NULL ,

    [Org] [char] (3) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_States_Org] DEFAULT ('000'),

    CONSTRAINT [PK_States2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

    (

    [Abbrev]

    ) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

    The query I use the get the states is as follows.

    SELECT * FROM states oSt WHERE

    (SELECT count(abbrev) + 1 FROM States iSt WHERE iSt.Abbrev < oSt.Abbrev) BETWEEN 2 AND 5

    ORDER BY Abbrev
