Hi Gilbert You must remember that Range Limits are fast, Filters are slow. A range limit needs a key. If there is no suitable key, it will always be slow. If there is a suitable key, Prop:Filter will use. Add the 3 marked lines to the Gpprocess.tpw file. When you do reports, you will have 3 additional embeds. I use the the Before and After View embeds to change the sort order. The same 3 embeds will also be in Process procedures - both Process and Report use the Gpprocess.tpw file. #!--------------------------------------------------- #GROUP(%ProcessSaveLimits),AUTO #EMBED(%WindowEventOpenWindowBefore,'Window Event: Open Window, before setting up for reading') #EMBED(%BeforeKeySet,'Before SET() issued') #IF(%PrimaryKey) SET(%PrimaryKey) #ELSE SET(%Primary) #ENDIF #INSERT(%StandardWriteViewFilter,%ProcessFilter) #EMBED(%MGCAfterPropFilter,'MGC After Prop:Filter') #!
