Lester,
don't get me wrong.. I'm purely fascinated by this. I'd love to know how you
change a masterlink parameter without closing and opening (refreshing) the
detail dataset OR I suspect that the call to these events are missing - I
cetainly haven't dug into the source to verify.

There is no doubt that things are fast under this model and I don't often do
things afteropen or before close but they should be called if that is indeed
what is happening.

Need Jason to answer that I think. I am happy that my detail
set is not re-opened when I scroll the master, so perhaps it
me that is missing something. I just change the parameter in
a prepared query that feeds the detail.

I have gone to a lot of trouble to avoid triggers that are
run too often. IBLogManager shows quite a few things up in
that respect and has helped me eliminate unneccessary
actions, so perhaps I am simply avoiding the 'problem'
rather than not seeing it <g>
