Hi!
When you refresh a view, the current record position is re-set to the topmost record. Remember current record position in view before refreshing it, refresh it, then use "GO (remembered recno)" command. If view contains fewer records than required or reciords change often, you probably would like to set to the record with the same ID value, or when record is deleted - to closest another record to have at least similar look.
Also, keep in mind that when you scroll the grid by scroll bars, set focus to anotehr control, and then set focus back to the grid, by keyboard or programmatically, grid will usually jump to current record in the view cursor. I think this is not a usual case and rarely happens. If you need to fix also this problem, it required complex code to determine the topmost row currently displayed in the grid (ActiveRow and RelativeRow would not help here).

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
