Jason,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been away on business.
Yes, there is definitly somthing wronge with .recordCount but I have
reavaluated my coding style and I recognise that it is better for me
to count records than to rely on the query which fetches them,
therefore can you advise me on the following:-
1) The best iboAccess component to run a dynamic paramatised
sql count query.
2) Is it better using IBO + interbase 6 to use select count(*) or select
count(unique key).

The afterScroll event is a different matter, it is not something I can code
around easily if at all (although I have looked at the TDataSource
onDataChange event when the passed TField = nil) and I suspect
the problem is with suppression rather than extra code needed. What are
my chances on getting some resolution with this ? If I can help in anyway,
please let me know.

Best regards,

William.
