For example, say there are 20 items in a table. Run the query, get the
recordset, and the count of items in the recordset. Put the recordset
into an array. Close the record set.
total_items = 20
breaknow = total_items/2
loop though the array until you reach breaknow then end the list and
start another. If the total is not an even number, then the last list
will have one extra item.
