Information entered into fields is stored in a database for reuse. You can instruct the database to limit its size so that performance is not degraded. Although FormsAssistant uses a SQL database to store the Recent database, you might want to limit its size so that performance is not degraded. On our systems we have found that a limit of about 2,000 items is managed without any noticeable delay when you select a field on the Main window.
