since i needed to refresh the data every once in a blink, and i needed to locate the record .... now.. what i finally did var bm: TBookmark; begin Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass; // disconnect the grids from the datasource // it refetches the records when connected DataSource1.DataSet := nil; ADOTable1.DisableControls; ADOTable1.Filter := 'whatever filter goes'; ADOTable1.Filtered := true; ADOTAble1.Active := true; bm := ADOTable1.GetBookmark; ADOTable1.Filtered := false; DataSource1.DataSet := ADOTable1; ADOTable1.GotoBookmark(bm); ADOTable1.FreeBookmark(bm); ADOTable1.EnableControls; Screen.Cursor := crDefault; end; demi-crappy but its 3.23 am and im just sputtering.. and it seems to work... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
