The **QuickScan **property contains a value that tells the BrowseClass whether or not to quickscan when page-loading the browse list queue. Quick scanning only affects file systems that use multi-record buffers. See //Database Drivers //for more information.

A value of zero (0) disables quick scanning; a non-zero value enables quick scanning. Quick scanning is the normal way to read records for browsing. However, rereading the buffer may provide slightly improved data integrity in some multi-user circumstances at the cost of substantially slower reads.

**Implementation:**

TheBrowseClass.Fetch method implements the faster reads only during the page-loading process, and only if the QuickScan property is not zero. The BrowseClass.Fetch method SENDs the 'QUICKSCAN=ON' driver string to the applicable files' database drivers with the RelationManager.SetQuickScan method.

**The RelationManager.SetQuickScan method does ****//not //****set the BrowseClass.QuickScan property. However if you set the BrowseClass.QuickScan property to 1, the BrowseClass uses the RelationManager.SetQuickScan method to SEND the QUICKSCAN driver string to the appropriate files.**
