The trouble is that nothing seems to be able to handle huge amounts of data. I need to get the data for a picklist. So I'll need to pull in the entire customer table, for instance, not just a handful of records. I haven't found any other method that can do it as fast as using a cursor.

Thanks,

Michelle

>>The thing is that I wasn't _instansiating_ the object from the form at all. I was just calling it from there. It's a global object. That's what the problem was. But making it a local object makes it useless, so my only option is to give up on trying this n-tier thingy and going back to just talking to the data directly.
