Derek,

There's no limitation, AFAIK, except available RAM probably. Hopefully you will not have a DataSet with 100,000 rows to display though ... that's a bit much for any user to get their head around, wouldn't you think? <g>

What if a user has a SELECT that returns 100,000 records (again, not that I have plans for this size, but several years of detail sales records can generate this many rows)?
