Re: Subfile programming 101 problem with load all subfile

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you add a scrollbar then you will want the SFLSIZ to be the actual 
Subfile size  -  that is where the program gets the correct information 
for setting the scroller bar's length to give the user the relative size 
of the subfile.

As an aside, subfiles above 2600 in length are almost unusable, so the 
9999 size may give you fits with users.  (13 records/page means 200 
clicks to get to the end of the file.  Even if that is OK, stopping at a 
particular page is almost impossible.)
