Bob,

Why not an incremental browse? The best of both worlds.

>>>I haven't met a user yet who "likes" to browse data. I have met a lot of developers that do.

>>Actually, people browse grids all the time. Think of phone books, baseball standings, and book indexes.

>>That doesn't mean that grids aren't datacentric or that they should be used a lot, of course. But sometimes users do just want to browse, instead of filling out a search form.

>There are certainly situations where a browse is perfectly acceptable but you need to guard againt 2 things. 1-browsing a phone book size file, especially if the data comes from a remote server across a busy network. 2-inconsistency - browing in one case but not in another is almost sure to bring user questions and/or complaints.
