RE: prob in subfile...

Hi Jonathan,
thats the reason for this thread/conversation. I prefer to use
page-at-a-time subfiles, because there IS no limit of 10,000 or so records
for the sub-file.

Hi Alan

>> You don't have to scroll down 10,000 records, how about giving the user
a
>> position to field?

So, if your user repositions to the 10,000th record after the first page is
loaded do you then read the next 9,990 or so records to get to the one your
user wants?  Personally I would reload the subfile starting from the
10,000th record and handle any paging up programmatically.
