Parent/child form layout

I need a little direction. I'm converting an access database application to
a webforms application. My access form has a one to many relationship
between the parent and subforms. I would like to keep a similar layout but I
don't know the best approach. I would like to show only one master record at
a time and allow the users to navigate through the records (first, next,
previous, last). Any suggestions would be appropriated.

Thanks,
Kent.

I usually use either the table or the datagrid to represent hierarchical
structure. Most of the work you have to do is in maintaining the ViewState
and in processing events according to your needs.

I have 2 rough samples on my website; one is using a table and the other one
is using the datagrid:
