I am using an indexed table with no filter. The table was dragged onto the form from the Data Env. The textbox simply does a "seek" for the search-string in the table. The form is then refreshed. The row(record) that is found is always displayed in the middle of the grid.
The textbox keeps the focus (using a return 0, in the valid event) so that another search string can be entered.

The grid is used to select desired records. If one was looking for names for eg. and the search-string entered was "Sam", the the first record containing "Samantha" is displayed in the middle row, followed by "Samuel", "Sera" etc. All the records(rows) above the middle row are wasted space (these could be the "R's). This grid is used to select desired records, and therefore I want the first matching record(s) to be displayed from the top of the grid, downwards.

I believe the Doscroll command may work, but I have never used it before, and don't know how to call this method from within textbox, so that the textbox retains the focus.
