IMPORTANT NOTE
When you open a dBworxPE database file, the individual records are
loaded into memory and displayed in the list box on the right side
of the main screen. For large files, loading all the records into
the list box can cause dBworxPE to slow down somewhat; to avoid that
problem, dBworxPE uses a "paging" technique. Basically, "paging"
consists of loading just a "page" worth of records in the list
box at one time; to load the next or previous page of records, you
have to use the "Page Down" and "Page Up" buttons.
In earlier versions of dBworxPE, paging was used on all files no
matter what size they were. Now paging is used only on files
with more than a certain number of records (the default is 5000
records). That means that for smaller database files, all the
records are loaded into the list box at once and you can scroll
continuously back and forth through the entire record set by
using the vertical scroll bar on the list box.
You can change the "paging start point" (the point at which
dBworxPE starts to use the paging technique) by clicking on the
"Preferences" item under the "File" menu and selecting "Paging
start point". dBworxPE will display a pop-up box allowing you to
enter the number of records you want to set as the paging start
point. For example, if you want to load all records into the
main screen list box for database files up to 10,000 records,
you would enter 10000 as the paging start point.
