Exclamation Return specific amount of records
Some help would be greatly appreciated:

I have a select statement:

select contactid,company,fname,lname from tblcorecontacts where lstedited <= getdate()

I am missing the means to restrict records to 10.

I have a asp page that is to show the last 10 records (or no more than) of contacts that have been modified.

So, what I'm saying is please helpme to add to my select statement to use the count or other function to stop showing records when they are >= 11

Any help would be much appreciated.
