I have experienced similar issues that are not necessarily browser dependant. Basically, if your output exceeds a certain number of rows, you will overwhelm the client's browser. The number may be higher for IE, but it will not be infinite.
The way I dealt with it was as follows, On the search page, offer the user the option of exporting to Excel. If the user chooses to not export the results, I do a record count. If it exceeds a certain number ( 1000 I think), I display a message telling him he has too many records and that he can either tighten up his search parameters (usually start and end date), or export the results to Excel. If you are talking about many thousands of rows, you may want to take the maximum number of rows in Excel into account. ********************* Hello All, I have an issue with a query that I have running on a particular page. The query brings back a large number of records, the query works in Exporer but seems to make netscape crash. I thought about just showing a number of records and having a next button for the next records. But my client wants to print off this report. They have to use netscape IE is not an option. Is there a way to output a large number of records to netscape so that the results can be printed out? - You are subscribed to the CFUGToronto CFTALK ListSRV.
