What about adding a line below the column headings for filters.
Enter a value in one column and filter the records by that value for
that column. I do this all the time for the subfile programs I
write. It allows the user to remove from view the records they are
no interested int. Most of the time, one or two columns is all it
takes. The record they want is on the screen with minimum paging
required.


I usually provide both a skip-to field for positioning and filter
fields to reduce output -- with no more than 10 pages allowed for
page-at-a-time scrolling before they get a message that they must
reposition to get more data.
