If I understand this correctly, the visible list should be be a small
subset of the records in a PDB table, which sounds like a coding issue -
to be solved later.

Judging from the response, am I correct in assuming that you can have a
table with 15000 records and then write code so this displays quickly on
alphabetic lookup, filtering and sorting?  

I have a well-developed medical app on another platform, and would
consider rewriting this in CW if it would increase the capability and
functionality - and I am just trying to get a sense of the limits.
Thanks for your patience, as I know this is an elementary question.

If you have that many items in 
the database, its another thing altogether. I display about 10 or so at
any 
one time. The key is to give the user a very easy and fast way to get to

the record he needs to view. Either by page up/down or a lookup field.
