Thanks Thom, That is a useful tip. Does the note in the help file apply with this approach?
"However if you set the Record property to a value that is lower than the current Record, the file is closed, re-opened, and then scanned to the requested record number." My script is reading from Excel file and first needs to key the value located in G3 into my Rumba application. So I used D.Next to get to record three. Now I need it to go back to the second record to continue keying the rest of data which sits in columns A-F. I was concerned that using D.Record will hinder script performance if it has to close and reopen the file.

So if I was on a record of interest, I could store D.Record F("MyInterestingRecord")=D.Record Do any number of D.Next_ 's And go back using D.Record= F("MyInterestingRecord") Regards, Thom Thom C.

But how do you navigate back to a specific record or specific number of records in the datastation? I am using a Rules Based Script that connects to Rumba (HLLAPI).
