List View sorting problem... Please help!

[sbphoto01]

Hi all, I am trying to get my list view layout, on layout enter to display the current record at the top of the list, even if records exist either side of the current record date.

I am sorting the records via date ascending, but there's nothing to tell the list view layout to display the current record at the top of the list view window.

Any ideas?

First let me say that I agree there is a lack of good commands for scrolling a list. However, I'm not sure that there is a way of doing what you want to do manually in all cases either. Consider that your layout will show 5 records at a time in a list view. You want to go to record #10 out of 10 total. There is no way to scroll down far enough to put it at the top of your window. It is not like Excel where you will have blank rows below your last record.

I think the closest you can achieve is with the following:

Set Variable [$RecordNum]; Value: Get (RecordNumber)]

Go to Record [Last]

Go to Record [No dialog; $RecordNum]
