Even if you could reload it, I'd have thought that the only valid way of 
positioning would be by locating against a column (preferably known to 
have an index). After all, the content of the table might have had gross 
changes due to the actions of other users, and potentially the layout 
might have changed.

I find myself moving away from data-aware controls and instead executing 
queries in a background thread, to try to avoid UI glitches while the 
backend's doing its stuff.
