Jim, I use the on-key press across a network to search customer names (about 3000). One thing I did was to "shorten" my search. The search does not lookup up until the 3rd key-press. That way it reduces the number of records returned.

Being a novice at programming, I watch the list when questions come through on indexing and am confused as to when to use them. It seems in some instances the list says not to use them and in other use them. I will have to try that.

The orders table has 20,000 plus rows and it is taking ten seconds or more for each keystroke to search the records. What can I do to make the process faster?
