RE: prob in subfile...

Same here page at a time subfiles are just better IMO.  If you need to
save the options from the current screen on a paging operation, several
solutions have already been presented.  As to the Keyed data queue vs.
temp file I would prefer the temp file in this case, that way I can
manage the removal of records from the "temp" data where a keyed data
queue will remove the option the first time it's processed(read).  Just
my 2 coppers. 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

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.

Jonathan
