Performance of type ahead...

in Value Lists

Featured Replies

I use a value list with some 6000 values that show all names of the people in a certain database. Actually there's the record's ID and a second field that calculates the full name. Both fields are indexed, the value list is sorted by the calculated name-field. By clicking into the field that holds the list and type-ahead it takes a while to get the right alphabetic character highlighted.

I know, the list is quite long and so on but it was much faster in FM6 than it is now in FM7 (7.0v3). Any next time you use the same field it works much faster. Another strange reaction of the type-ahead is that sometimes first the very last value of the list gets highlighted and by typing the desired character again the right value will be selected. My hope was that it will do better with FM server 7 but as far as I tested it it doesn't look like...

Any experiences like that?
