Steve, How about having a stack with one card for each brand (that is to say, one of each card that looks different from the rest)? Have this small stack open on startup. Link each card to the database for that brand (or whatever determines unique cards). As the user "opens" each card it is popu

Steve, I don't know if this has been mentioned: Rev opens, manipulates, and saves stacks with a lot of cards slowly. We were updating one large stack that seemed to hang each time. It was a stack imported from HyperCard where the same update took about half an hour. The update consisted of pulli
