Well, the reason the Lookup dataset can't scroll is because the current record in the Keysource dataset has it "anchored" on a certain lookup record.

One way to fix this is to use another query for maintaining the lookup table and to refresh the lookup dataset when the maintenance query has posted its insert (if they are in the same transaction) or when it has committed its insert (if they are in different transactions). Make sure the lookup dataset has its isolation set to tiCommitted in that case, otherwise the main transaction won't see the changes from the other transaction.
