Consider the use of Win32-GUI-Grid as well.
It is an optional choice as it may require large portions of recoding, but may streamline the data-access logic. I use it in conjunction with SQLite in an application I produce with next to nil delay.

And then populate the maintenance screen's multiline textfields (to hold the memo fields) in the ListView ItemClick event. 2) In the ListView ItemClick event, do a database lookup to fetch the memo fields at that time instead of Holding all record memo fields in an associative array loaded when the ListView is loaded. I chose number 2. The slight drawback to this method is the slight delay when arrowing or scrolling up/down Within the ListView since the ItemClick event has to do a database lookup. The slight delay really is not Noticeable but could potentially be if network traffic or database traffic is high. Eric
