You can base the form on a temp view. Then you can close the view and reopen it to refresh it. There is an example in the RSAT to see how it works: this is some code: PROPERTY TABLE temptableviewname CLOSE
DROP VIEW temptableviewname CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW `temptableviewname` + AS SELECT columns from tablename where clause order by clause property temptableviewname open Dan _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of mike epstein sony viao office Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 4:11 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: sorting a scrolling region ,a senior moment That is correct the 2 columns are changed on edit and I am trying to re-sort the data that is currently visible in the dbgrid based on the changes.

I would like to have a button that would resort the data listed in the form to be resorted by the 2 columns . a' restoreorderby' property command does not seem to address specific rows of the table in the form?

After the edit, but before the form is closed, I would like to use a button to refresh the values in the dbgrid by re ordering the data In the dbgrid using 2 columns. Mike
