Re: Fetching more records for a grid

You need to get away from thinking "next n" because the ONLY database
where that has any meaning is Foxpro. The concept simply doesn't exist in
databases where data is defined logically rather than physically (which is
all of them except VFP).


So does TOP <nExpr> only work on DBF / VFP databases?

I've tried to move my users away from the "old" style of database searching
but I've been met with a lot of resistance.

Since one of my most vocal critics of the "new" style is my boss, I need to
accomodate.

So, yes, I want the new paradigm with the old look and feel.

The funny thing is that on the web version of the same application, I show
10 records at a time and nobody complains. They don't have any problem with
buttons on the web site that say "Next Page" and "Previous Page" to scroll
through the transactions. Go figure!

Thanks again,
Jeff
