I guess you didn't get the point.

If you knew where to go, in advance, yes, the JUMPTO will get you there.

However, the SEARCH option of the Enhanced DBGrid will search the record(s) for you.

If you wish, read the example on how to implement such technique as currently being
used and verified by Dan Goldberg.

We'll have to agree to disagree then.  Yes, you said:

FWIW ... JUMPTO only "jumps" the number of record(s) and does NOT
jump to the matched record.


And then your syntax concurs that it does indeed JUMP TO a specific record.

If I know that Illinois starts on record 10, and I say
  PROPERTY TABLE FormTable 'JUMPTO 10'
it will jump to the 10th row, will it not?

In my reply, did I say that "JUMPTO 2" command no longer works?

No. I did not.

Here's what I said:

FWIW ... JUMPTO only "jumps" the number of record(s) and does NOT
jump to the matched record.

If it helps ...
Syntax:
PROPERTY TABLE FormTable 'JUMPTO absPos'
Where:
FormTable is the appointed table by property
absPos is the absolute record to jump to, positive only or backward
with negative value
