Hi David,
>You'd reduce overall network/server traffic if you'd give your users a search screen instead, let them type the name they are looking for and then you jump to that place directly. It's better than having them scroll all the way from Zimbalist to Bunker.
My app pulls down small record sets (1-100 records) to a local cursor. Analysts browse this cursor looking for patterns. There's a grid on the left for users to navigate via a list, and record details on the right where users navigate via first, previous, next, last. The auto-repeat navigation capability is still valuable with relatively small sets of data. And quickly browsing a local cursor doesn't impact the network.
Thanks for helping me think through my design,
Malcolm
