>Perhaps. The other issue with filters and grids is the scroll bar does not work as it should. I use parameterized views. IMHO, it's a much more sublime solution.

Depends on the view and the parameters: http://msvfp.advisorguide.com/doc/16302

SPT with dynamically constructed ad-hoc parameterized where clauses is IMO the ultimate in control for me as a developer, flexibility for the user, performance and safety.

>>>I haven't used filters for a table of any significant size in ages. Love those parameterized views. However, I could swear that I recently came across something that was saying that in VFP 9 (or whatever it said - a recent version) the filters were now very fast and this made them useable again. Wish I could remember where I saw that (or perhaps I was hallucinating). Have you heard anything like that (I guess not based on your reply).
