Hi Jason
Hmmm. I have a situation where I am setting a value to a field in filters, say a Group Name, and walking a table field with a filter guide to concatenate contact addresses for a notification (actually, a notification by phone using text to speech). If I do not have Refresh on Entry Change selected I get no results, but if it is checked I get the expected behavior. Actually, this might happen several times in the same transaction with different Group Names being set to the field used by the table field qualification, so the table field needs to refresh on the server each time this happens. Perhaps the difference here to what you're seeing is that fact that the field with the Group Name is initially blank when the transaction starts and needs to change one or more times. Is the table qualification you are using fixed?

I just checked some tables that I use in filters and I don't have RoEC checked. Table fields are used a bit differently in filter guides then in a UI situation. It seems that the table fields was an easy object to "abuse" to add the filter looping functionality since they performed similar functions (<select X, Y, Z, from Txxxxx where Z = 'xxxxx' order be Y desc>. Kind of like how Tree fields have been added to a table fields in v7). From what I can gather the table field used by a filter more or less sets up the SQL statement but really doesn't care much about any of the more visual/UI type properties (makes sense since it is only used server side).

Does this mean that you would not need to display these table fields to users - in other words could the tables be removed from the user-accessible views? If so, I believe that the potential problems that others have pointed out, such as def size and caching, might be avoided. You can select one view containing these table fields as the master view for server-side processing (filter guides). But, and here's the rub, to be able to use the tables in filters you will need to have them set to refresh on entry change. I've never had enough table fields accessed by filter workflow to know how much of a performance hit this might be, but after doing what you propose, you might be able to supply the answer.

What are the limitations (both real and theroetical) to putting LOTS and LOTS of Tables on a form. What would be the limitation (performance certainly being the big one). Is there a real limit? If the tables are only accessed via filter operations, would that make it better? I can't give any concrete information regarding the tables other than they would probably be accessing seperate tables (for the most part) and would probably only have a few fields in them. -- Warren R.
