Limitations of Records Returned

The default limit of records that FrontPage 2000 will return to your system is 256.

This limit is designed to avoid overstressing your Web server, or your own computer.

It is important to realize that both your Web server and your computer have resource limits. If you request too much data from the Web server, you can cause erratic behavior due to overstress on the server.

If you do require more than 256 records to be returned, you have the ability to change the limit or remove it all together.
