Surely an old question :) ...

I have a file of about 500,000 records - file is about 40Mg in size.
Records belong to 1 of 5 possible groups identified by a 20 char string field.
There are about an equal number of records per group i.e. +/-100,000 per group.
I want to allow the user to see only one chosen group of records at a time in a scrollable grid which has 3 colums.

What is the fastest way to accomplish this? SET FILTER seems sluggish but perhaps I am not using it in the right way.

TIA
