This has nothing to do with the IBO list, but I'm wondering already many months what's the meaning of 'HTH' at the end of some e-mails ?? :-)

Calling Last will cause all records to be fetched.

SQL databases are not fixed width files that can mathematically calculate a
file pointer and move to the end of a table immediately. They are more
complex than that.

Hang in there though, I'm working on a solution for this in IBO v4.
