I also have added an OnTitleClick event handler to allow the user to sort by whatever field he wants, and a Tcheckbox for enabling/disabling the usage of the OnTitleClick event. It works fine but i have 2 questions: 1- If I have the data sorted (for any field) and I insert a new record, it is immediately ordered. This is ok, but if I have a lot of records the user does not know where the record actually is, and could have the impression the data is gone. So I would like to have the last record inserted focused but I'm not sure how to do this. Any idea? 2- If I sort by any column and then disable the ordering by column i would like the records to stay "ordered" as they are at that moment, and if I insert a new record that it also stays at the position where I insert it. Problem is if I put the Sort property to '' then the dataset is automatically "ordered" as it was when the data was loaded for the first time, and if I do not touch the Sort property it still sorts. Is it possible to do what i want? -- Thanks in advance for help & best regards :) Guillem Vicens Dep. informática Green Service SA [email]guillemvicens (AT) clubgreenoasis (DOT) com[/email] www.clubgreenoasis.com Back to top Guillem Guest Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2005 10:15 am    Post subject: Re: Sorting and unsorting "Brian Bushay TeamB" <BBushay (AT) Nmpls (DOT) com> escribió en el mensaje news:k9e5111bkb75areb1g0evt6397utmr1m68 (AT) 4ax (DOT) com...

Can you describe the circumstances under which you loose the posted record" Actually, I'm not posting the record to the database immediately. The client works on a snapshot of it, and when he decides to either accept the changes and leave, or save the changes they are posted. Doing further tests i have seen that it actually focuses the next record considering the order established (if i insert a record which would be in position 2 it focuses position 3). This is not really so bad, but i would like the cursor to stay on the last inserted (in example before position 2). I was thinking about using the RecNo property for it, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I have no idea what it was because i was changing something else. Anyway, thanks for your help Brian -- Best regards :) Guillem Vicens Dep. informática Green Service SA [email]guillemvicens (AT) clubgreenoasis (DOT) com[/email] www.clubgreenoasis.com "Brian Bushay TeamB" <BBushay (AT) Nmpls (DOT) com> escribió en el mensaje news:4u18111ogo9epr9v4fta8h9shp354kdjun (AT) 4ax (DOT) com...
