RE: Single record access really required (was RE: Views and Index es)

I guess I don't get it Joe.

All your user screens and inquiries can only handle a single item at a time?

If you've got an "Add item by item number screen", there's only a single
input line and the user hits enter for every item?

Well, ok then if that the limit of your software then I guess native I/O is
the thing to use.
