Well, you could pull down the first 1,000 records and provide a way for the user to get the next 1000 etc.

>The software gives the user the ability to query a massive database for record. The retrived records are displayed in a listbox. The screen containing the list allows the user to select multiple items in the list and click a command button that will "tag" a list item in the list. If there are over 65000 items returned then FoxPro will give a program error saying it can't reference the listitem.
