I don't know - try putting an ib_monitor into your app and see whether it
makes any difference to the SQL that is posted in your scrolling event.

It's my feeling that the detail dataset would have to be unprepared in
order for the datasource swap to "take", if the switch requires a change in
the underlying WHERE criteria; but otherwise not. But, rather than my
theorising, I suggest you try out what is the minimum you need to do for
this switching. I don't know of any single method you can call to do all
of the switching steps transparently. It seems to be the kind of unusual
requirement that needs some code tricks.
