Subject Re: [IBO] TIB_Lookup List Question
Author Jason Wharton
This is a bit of a difficult thing to do using a client/server database.
Each little move of an item causes the refresh of two datasets which can be
somewhat inefficient. There are some things in IBO that will help and it is
possible to be done. Unfortunately it is rather involved...

Not sure where to start but you need to learn how to tap into some of the
advanced features of IBO. For example, it is possible to bump a record out
of a dataset. When moving a record from one list to the other you know which
record is going to be moved so you just delete it from the buffer. This
avoids a refresh in one of the queries. On the other one it is a little more
difficult. Calling RefreshKeys will allow the dataset to refresh just record
keys and thus pick up the new one added to the list.

Hope this give you at least a start in the right direction.
