Hi,

    Without knowing the specifics of the database and the data being pulled, I
wouldn't feel too comfortable helping on that account. However, depending on the
language you are using, you may be able to split up strings. If this is the
case, you should be able to make each section into its own string, and place one
on the left side, and another on the right.

    With respect to the actual coding in making the table, the following page
may be of use:

http://www.htmlite.com/lite012.php

http://www.htmlclinic.com/tables.php

Both pages explain how to code and design tables. In your case, you could
combine it such that it displays the table with whatever content you want inside
of it.

Hope this is of use,

Regards,

Altrus

: Hi,
:
: Thank you for responding my question and for your explanations.

: I agree. I think would be the best if I can design the page to either:
: 1. Having two side by side sections, each section pulling data from
: a different table,
: OR
: 2. Showing 2 columns in body.
:
: Could you help me to do that?
: I greatly appreciate your help.
