RE: Call or Bound Call

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a field called member name, or USERID since your member names seem to be
based on the users.  Then you can use only one member and other more
efficient means to select a group of records, especially if you have an
index over this new field.  Multi member physical files are harder to deal
with.  I only use them for archiving old data that does not need to be
access much.  i.e. history by period.
