[Quoted] Easy? Surely you gest! You could write your own cursor and use decode in the select statement to achieve a different order. The order by would be based on the values returned by the decode function.

[Quoted] I don't know of any. Probably GPF's (stands for Gates Pension Fund, doesn't it?) are due to your next question.

I'm sure it depends on how much memory each form consumes, along with what other applications you have running. I often run with the Forms designer plus several forms open at the same time with no problem. My machine is similar to yours, but have Win31.
