Going to next card

[Bob Sneidar]

OIC. NOT a datagrid. Just a custom group. What makes a datagrid more efficient is that the fields and controls in the datagrid are only created and populated for the visible rows. It sounds like you are populating ALL the fields and yes, when you change cards Livecode has to “draw” all those fields. 

I cannot imagine a reason why a datagrid would not work for this.
