Thank you, Alastair, that will definitely point me in the right direction. I hope I eventually get good enough at R:BASE to be able to help others!! (Is there hope for me?....) Diane In a message dated 11/9/2009 5:45:16 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Diane, The way that I do this is to set the list view to open with no records and then the the On Key Press EEP to populate the view with only matching selections Razzak posted an example a few months back - maybe 6 or more - which I adapted for my purposes. It's late here now and my version is different but if you need further help let me know and I search back tomorrow. Regards, Alastair. From: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 10:28 PM To: _RBASE-L Mailing List_ (mailto:[email protected]) Subject: [RBASE-L] - Variable Lookup List View Question Hi, Has anyone had good experiences using a Variable Lookup List View on a large table (say over 30,000 records) doing a multi-select? When I create a Variable Lookup List View control on a form for a large table, it can take 3 or more minutes to display the table when the form is initially opened. Is the Variable Lookup List View just meant for smaller tables or queries/filters that effectively limit the number of records displayed when the form is opened? Or, if a Variable Lookup List View is not the appropriate control to display a large table, does anyone know a way of allowing a user to do a multi-select on a table besides using a Variable Lookup List View? Thank you so much, Diane DeMers [email protected] DeKalb, IL ____________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
