[AccessD] Find First in an Array?

Hi John

But why not just load the recordset as static when you initialize the class? Zero additional code, no fuzzing with collections etc.

ICK!

This application is PERFECT for caching.  The data does not change from the time the database opens 
to the time it closes.  The data is loaded once into collections and then the form is loaded from 
its specific collection (class instance).  If you are going to run through the entire recordset 
every time the form opens... why not simply load the data into a collection the first time and let 
the poor disk take a nap?

This is not rocket science.  In fact if I hadn't had some calls from clients interrupt me it would 
be done already.
