Link Memos to Note Fields and speed up Databases

If you use your 100LX Phone Book or Data Base to keep track of a large number of contacts with extensive notes, you may have found that it becomes unworkably slow, especially if it's stored on a Flashdisk.

100Buddy's ability to "link" MEMO files to the Note field of a database entry could provide a solution to this problem. Instead of keeping a lot of information in the Notes field of a database entry, you could create a Memo file to store that data and link it to the database entry. (E.G. you could put the line >a:\terry.doc in the database's entry's Note field to link TERRY.DOC to it.)

When linked, all you have to do is go to the particular database entry and press (Fn)-(M) to have a specified text file loaded into MEMO.

This method would keep your databases smaller and faster.
