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?

Top n works just fine. Which n? <g>

Your boss will change his tune when his network gets bogged down to the
point of not being usable.

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!

Funny thing that. I've noticed that you can tell users "it's the internet"
about just about *anything* (speed, lack of flashy U/I, whatever) and
they'll shrug and say "Oh, OK then". LOL
