Question how to choose a specific link from a list of displayed results

Hi,

Im using Dreamweaver MX ASP VBscript with Access 97

I have implemented a very simple search and result page - searching through records from my database
im having problems working out how to create links to a specific page from the database results after a search has been done.

The point of the project is to have dynamic pages - so the linked pages cannot be pre-wriiten .asp pages

The search im doing is on archives of articles in my database -
The user enters a search in a text field
and the results of the search are being returned fine:
the first sentence of the article is returned alone with an image and some other data. (Article name, date)

I want to be able to select the name of the article name (for example) and allow the user to be directed to a page
where the full article is displayed.

I just done really know how to start this.
Firstly where do i place each individual article data - into a .asp page or a .txt page?
And how do i call that info into the page area I want it to be displayed?
(I have about 20 articles as test data)


I just dont understand how to link to the specific article chosen from the list of results page
and how to create the specific article page that the user chooses form the list of results.
would it be a template .asp page + i leave an empty scrollable text field where I want the text to show?

or am i just thinking along the wrong lines.

If any one could please help!
SERIOUSLY LOST!!

if you have a full article page that would be displayed on, then the link would be something like full.asp?article=id#

if that doesnt make sense i'll try n reword it
