I'm using pageframes. I have one form with 7 tabs and all the data is associated. Check out the screencast for examples of Parent->child setups. If you need a grand-child setup - check the wiki for a little help. I'm using postgres and performance is great. The only issue is the time to open a form. It takes 2-4 seconds. I'm really not sure what causes the delay. But if I had to guess I'd say it has to do with the connection and not the displaying of the form. But that is a guess. Once the form is open performance is a match for VFP. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users
