Hi, This will add load to your system mainly when you do not have other qualification criteria that narrows down the search, and makes good use of your indexes. If you do an unqualified search, the C112-additions to the SELECT-statment can definitely add a lot of load to the query. Best

It's measurably more maintainable to create the view against the table. Any time you modify a form, the views that ARS creates on top of the tables is dropped and recreated. This is because there is no way in the db to alter the view. When the view is dropped and recreated it may invalidate the
