This is to 50% right. But when you have between first-, next-, or
last_record a synchronize, then the cursor sets to the new position.

Referencing to an item, that isn´t in the actual record isn´t possible in a
simple way.

OK, James´ tip is a way to get the information, but it´s a non-performant
way. Say, you have 1000 records. The cursor is on the 800th record. Then
Forms must do one first_record and then 799 next_records. This will quite a
while. This is for a fast-use to slow...

PS: What´s the meaning of  "RTFM" ?
