as to the question of finding a record among thousands, making the found record the top row is pretty much the standard I've seen.

For the 2 record problem (or # of total records < grid "height"), IIRC showing the grid prior to moving the record should show all the records. Don't know which version of VFP you are using but something like:
go top
seek cLook4

or
seek cLook4
nRec = recno()
go top
oForm.oGrid.setfocus()
go (nRec)
