Hi, all,
 
I have a form based on a table having about 25,000 records with a key field  
called "DocNo".  The form has several subtables on it.  On the form, I  have 
the normal navigation bar; I also have a button "Jump to Rec#" that  uses
 
"PROPERTY TABLE <tablename> <record no. to jump to>"  
 
to jump to a particular record# in the recordset.  This button works  well.  
I also have a button "Jump to Doc#" where I'd like the user to be  able to 
enter the "DocNo" value, and the form would skip to the record whose  "DocNo" 
field has the value specified by the user.  I've tried the  command:
 
PROPERTY TABLE 'FormTableName->SEARCH->FormColumnName->'  varname
 
where "varname" is the DocNo specified by the user.  This command will  
ultimately find the record, but the form is repainted for each record along the 
 
way and it takes seconds or minutes to arrive at the specified record.   I've 
tried using 
 
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM alphablendvalue "0" and PROPERTY RBASE_FORM  
alphablendvalue "255"
 
to hide the form until the record is found (and then display the form), but  
it still can take forever to arrive at the selected record, and the screen  
periodically blinks during the processing.
 
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can do a search on a column in the  
recordset that the form is based on, and 1) have it be quick and 2) not have 
the 
 screen repainted over and over again through the recordset while the column 
is  being searched?
 
Thanks,
