Agreed.

That's the plan, alas the original is a subfile and positioning subsequent
pages is an issue.  Well, it's an issue for me.  I can't figure out how to
tell the stored proc to return 'rows 51-100' unless I pass the next key out
to the caller and have her submit that as the place to begin reading.

I think we may have been able to convince the customer that a complete list
in HTML is not as useful as a search mechanism would be.  Between that and
the ability to download the entire list as a .csv file, they should be all
set.
