Hi Patrick,
Your request seems to have gotten lost in the support inbox over the holidays.

What do you mean by "refresh mode"?

This just tells the data source to only load in those times. It doesn't 
actually step through each time.

A solution to this is to turn on disk caching on the data source. Go to the 
Properties dialog for the grid data source. There should be a "Always cache to 
disk" checkbox. Check that on. We recently fixed some problems with this so you 
should try the nightly build. More info on this is here:
