I have a database with over 1000 records and want to view it as a list wi th about 8 to the scrollable window.
1. The answer's obvious: use list view! However, I want to have a navigation panel running the FULL height of the WINDOW and located at the LEFT of the window! That is, the left quarter of the window will have a series of buttons arranged as a column running down the window; the right three-quarters wi ll have 8 records running down the window. You might think of it as being similar to creating my own status area. If I wanted to have the navigation panel at the top, there'd be no proble m: I'd just use the header and list view. So, is it possible to move the 'header' to the left of th e screen? I have not seen anything like this implemented. Has anyone seen or done it? The solution might be similar to displaying a SINGLE graphic covering the entire background of a list view but I have not seen this done either! 2. I can see a workaround using a portal. I want to be able to: a) search the 1000+ records and return somewhere be tween one and all of them, and b) print the found set as a list. But this entails using global key fields, setting and removing flags, &c. And making the navigation obvious will be quite a challenge! So, ideally, I'm looking for a solution that doesn't use a portal. Is the re any hope? With thanks in anticipation. Kevin
