I think you could have your finger on a legitimate bug with regard to the
record count issue. I will take the information you have provided and see
what I can figure out. As for the AfterScroll event firing, I have pretty
much allowed the TDataset class to do whatever it needs to do. This is a
behavior that this class should be governing at the abstract level. I may
need to comb through the DBTables unit to see if there is some special code
to produce the extra scroll events or if perhaps I am doing something to
suppress them by mistake.

Although you may do well to be a little more explicit in your app coding
style I hold the ideal that I don't want you to have to fuss any more than
you have to when converting a BDE app. I will take an interest in any
behavioral difference and insure that I am introducing as few quirky
differences as possible.
