Re: Subfile more/bottom problem

This, to me, is a two-step design issue. Given the problem, I would do this as page-at-a-time, with a "Set to:" by date, defaulting to today's date for the first display of the customer's records. As you say, they is no reason to put up dozens of records.

Obviously you wouldn't in this case. But imagine a Customer Service
application. You show the user the customer's orders in descending date
sequence. Chances are the user is interested in a fairly recent order,
which should be early in the subfile. If you've built a 9999 record
subfile of all the orders the customer has placed since 1996, then
you've wasted resources, user time, electricity etc...
