Hi All,

I am new to this Coldfusion and i am creating a FAQ page.
My Database is MS ACCESS. It is working but with some code error as i am displaying 5 FAQ on first page then next 5 FAQ on the other page and so on. The PROBLEM i am having is lets say my Database has 18 faqs.
it would display
page 1 --- 5 FAQ
page 2 --- 5 FAQ
page 3 --- 5 FAQ
PAGE 4 --- DOESNT SHOW ANY FAQ so the remaining 3 are not retrieved from the database.

I will be very thankful if you guys can please help me with this issue.

Below is the code :
