Custom Property Data Limit?

[Pete]

Yeah, I can see that would work faster than getting the data from an SQL
db.  Would be interested to compare speeds with more complicated retrievals
though, eg get a list all rows with "xyz" in column 5 and "abc" in column
8, or something similar.  Course, the app in question may not need that
kind of complexity.

PS This reminded me of the difference between an American billion and and
English billion....
