Craig,

Thanks for your reply.

So, in a CS setting, when a user goes to, say, a Customer Data Entry form:

1. the Form does not show the Customer records at first, only an 'empty form'
2. functions such as Data Navigation, Edit, Save and Undo are disabled initially - only Search and Create is enabled
3. user then puts in search criteria to be able to get what he wants to view
4. only when records are pulled out will Data Nav, Edit, Save and Undo be enabled

Is the above 'narration' the way to go? How do you do it sir?

>Provide a search method. The user puts in some query data, then only pull back records matching that query. For example, bring back customer number 24232. Or bring back all customers in Quezon. Or bring back all customers with lastname of Lim. You'll need to talk to your customers to find out what searches they would need.
