Maybe because the scroll-right only has to populate one screenful's set of values, but the sort has to populate the whole list (which might be for a vast number of files)? If that's the case, you'd expect a larger delay each time you scroll the list too, at least until all the rows of the underlying table have been populated. It might be possible to work out what's going on by running the panel's logic under dialog test, if you breakpoint on various table services. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
