In the demo I setup for another thread on the list my TIBOQuery does
not move the selected row after a failed locate. I tried putting in
some Edit/Post stuff like your first posting but could not reproduce
your reported problem.

I doubt if TIBOTable would operate differently - other than the fact
that it is less controllable and so more unpredictable.

Fixup the boolean field and the double quotes etc and try again. If
you have a choice use TIBOQuery so you can be explicit about the
configuration.
