Re: main difference between expandable and singlepage subfile

In a single page subfile all page up/down requests must be handled by program logic.

In an expandable subfile once a record has been added to the subfile the system will take care of page up/down requests. The program only has to worry about adding additional records (if there are any) to the end of the subfile when a page request attempts to go beyond the number of records currently loaded.

Single page subfiles have no maximum size since it is up to the program to control what data is displayed. Expandable subfiles are limited to 9,999 records - unless only used with an Open Access handler then the limit s much higher.
