Hi Gilles,

I do not think you can use anything that is not orginating from the underlying cursor, that's how DynamicXXX properties have been programmed.

You could add a dummy field to the cursor store the number of the lines as displayed in and use this as an alternative to Recno(). Not sure this is practical in your case of course.

Just a suggestion ...
