UI performance and large data set in Table Object

[Mark Smith]

Mark, you might store the data from the database in a custom property  
of the table field, and only show as much data as will fit in the  
field at it's current size.

You'd have to write your own scrolling routines to update the  
display, but it can be done.

Best,

Mark
