John,

I it is more easy to working with the Grid object so go on with updatable parameterized views. ( It work's fine ! )

But hold in mind you must retreive only a few record's.

Sorry, but using Browse in a Form object is not easy. ( you need time )

>True, the Grid is not a command. It is a container for objects that display data. However, the SET FILTER command IS a Rushmore optimized command which is why it works very fast when the results are displayed in a BROWSE window. I'm not sure I understand why those same results are not displayed quickly within a grid because, conceptually, it would be the FILTER command controlling the data access, not the grid. However, the slow performance of the filter in the grid would suggest otherwise.

>As for the BROWSE suggestion, that is exactly what I was doing before and it IS very fast. (The project that I'm working on is a conversion of a system from 2.6 DOS to Visual FoxPro.) We have used the grids in an effort to take advantage of their many benefits. I only recently discovered the NAME clause of the BROWSE statement. Even so, I would prefer to use the grid control. I'd rather stick with objects wherever possible.

But I'm not opposed to using the BROWSE command in the interest of time. I do need to resolve the issue quickly. The system is supposed to go live in a week and I've got 50+ screens that are affected by this issue. Thank goodness for base classes and inheritance or I'd really be 'in a pickle'.
