Why you want to see all the records at once ... in a DB control. As mention both a Grid and a List do this if the count of records is small enough.
In the end, the components to display all have to do First while not eof Next Most only display a subset and use bookmarks to save restore the current cursor position - if required. Ie a control does not really want to do a first ..next loop but rather rely on the dataset buffers to display the record data.

It's the once part that gets me. Sounds like a grid to me... No a grid only displays the VisibleRowCount at one time (by setting the BufferCount) it refreshes this buffer as you scroll, I suppose the only other component that would behave similarly would be the TDBChart (thinks I'll have to see how it works....) 2/ I just gotta ask why though [from Myles] Why what?
