My problem: i have this table, with about 10 to 20 thousand records; applying a rowfilter on a dataview for this table works kind of nice; the thing is that when I have no records matching the given criteria, applying the filter takes way too long (and speed for my program is quite important). I also tried "cheating" (find/rowstatefilter = none), but it seems applying the rowStateFilter lasts about as long as applying the filter. Does anyone have any ideas? Thx
