Re: Single record access really required (was RE: Views and Indexes)

Rob, Joe,

I think I'm beginning to see where you two disagree. It's that Joe is talking about data entry and it seems that Rob is leaning towards data presentation?

Rob, in all honesty I can say that rarely does a data entry program not USE some data element from the retrieved record in it's decision making before a write is ever performed. So for data entry purposes, single record fetch is a must.
