That is because the datagrid only processes the visible rows, plus the row before and the row after. This is one of the main features of a Datagrid, as speed for a table object with large amounts of data was one of the hurdles to overcome. The dgNumberOfRecords property and method are for handling a LARGE number of records. 800, in computer terms is not very large at all. Think tens of thousands and up. 10,000 keys each containing 1000 characters is still only one megabyte. (plus overhead yes yes).
