Yes, I had heard about that; but I don't know how many people in developing countries will quickly switch to VFP 9; nor, how far all this can be trusted to really work.
But, if a filter does work well with a grid - either because reccount() is not too big, or because the previous problems were solved - then I think the filter would be easier to implement.
