Record position depends much on the sort order of resultset you got from the Query/Table object. If you don't order at all, the order you get from the server is implementation defined and such, can't guarantee that records come in the same order when reopen the query, even if no changes happened. At least in MSSQL and Firebird, results come in different orders if no Order By clause is used.

As for repositioning, I think that TOndrej solution is the safest one - using the primary key of your resultset to reposition the grid on the right record.
