Uffe,
This is almost a stuff but surely it will work.
When you open the table you can load an array with the code that identify
each record (the unique key).
The index array will be the ID record.
If the table is ROnly you have no problems. If you can modify it, when you
add / change the key you must to maintein the array. If you delete a record
there is no problem, because the IDs don't change until you make a pack.
When you want to know which is the original ID for a Selection record you
only must to do a Binary Search (or similar) in the array to identify the
key. The index is the original ID.
Remember to use a Binary Search the array must be ordered.
May be this is a junk, but probably be usefull to solve your problem. -:)
