MOVING NOTES FIELD SPEEDS UP PHONE DATABASE 100LX

As a new 100LX user, I was a little disappointed about the loading speed of PHONE. I got faster loading times by modifying the Phone Book database structure. First I loaded PHONE.PDB into the HP 100LX Data Base application.

I CUT and PASTED the "NOTES" Field to the second page of the Database (Fn/PG DN).

Then I made the field "NOTES" (now on the second page) as large as the whole screen.

I added a LABEL "> Notes: F3 <" on the first page of the Database and positioned it just above the F3 key as a reminder.

Moving the NOTES field to the second page cut the loading time for my Phone Book in half.
