G'day Alastair, I would caution against using the browser to display data. I do it occasionally and have noticed several times that it has displayed incorrect data, duplicate rows that did not exist, when changing size it will blank all values so that it has to be closed and opened again, the addition of a new row and entry of data will be misdisplayed when you move the cursor from one row to the next etc.
It is more work to create a form with a region but aside from the cursor being moved in a random fashion when getting to the bottom of the result set the behaviour is better mannered.
