My first idea would be to allow some filtering before loading data into the
LV. Does the user really need to process 30K cheques at one sitting? Maybe
you can offer selection by date range, and type of transaction, and status,
and originating bank, etc... This way, the user is focusing on a subset that
may be more manageable.

The LV sounds like overkill if you don't need sorting by clicking on column
header, or allowing the user to shift the columns around, or icons against
each cheque. The User Drawn LV as suggested by Tone would also be an idea. I
requires just a little bit more work than normal, but it might still be
worth it.

The simple list is one way. It supports multiple selection so I'm not sure
what problems you've had with that. As for alignment, if you use a fixed
font such as Courier New, you can get characters to line up.

Anyhow, I'll have a go at an alternative solution and post it to you.
