[Quoted] Hey there,

[Quoted] [Quoted] I have just finished implementing multiple selection
of rows in a FORMS 4.5 table. This in itself was a
tedious experience, but I have run into a new problem
along the way.

After I have performed an operation on multiple selections,
I lose track of where I was before. i.e. I have chosen 3 records
from the table and requested to update their status - immediately
following this operation, the statuses are updated (by looping
through all the records and performing the operation on each
record in the selection), but the records displayed in the table
are no longer the same records displayed before.

My question:

How can I remain in the same spot while performing these
operations ? Or perhaps, how can I return to the same spot
after each operation, so as not to confuse the user and make
him/her disoriented ?

Many thanks,
