>I had thought about that, but it would require re-writing all my other code that depends on having all the nodes populated. It's kind of like putting half of a table in a grid and then trying to do a seek on that half of a table to find something that may be in the other half. I really need to have all the data available at the same time. The user probably won't look at it all at once, but it needs to be there for behind the scenes stuff.

Michelle,
How much effort would it take to rewrite your stuff? We implemented a similar approach here but the TV is tied to a set of cursors/tables. Can't you tie the querying to the cursors and then use the TV for display only.

Just a thought.

BTW, one of the problems with using the TV is that not only does the loading take an exceedingly long time for large numbers of Nodes, unloading takes almost as long because each Node object created must be destroyed.
