Hi Nadya

Don't create a remote view. Do File New: click View then click New File. You don't need a remote view unless you are using SQL Server or Oracle or Access.

There has been a lot of discussion about GO TOP vs LOCATE. The LOCATE command without any clauses is what you should use after setting a filter. GO TOP doesn't optimize. Just add a comment in your code to explain to others why you used LOCATE.

They are much more convenient. In this case, you should create a parameterized view. The second app will open the view (in whatever manner you prefer) and you will pass parameters to the second app for it to pull the records it needs.
