VFP is confused between SEEK command and SEEK() function. I would recomend to use SEEK() function.

IF SEEK(ALLTRIM(thisform.combo1.Text), "a_arcadr", "cshipno")

BTW, GO TOP is unnecessary because SEEK always starts from the top.

>I keep getting an error telling me the table has no index set, but I thought by using the seek and setting the order to cshipno it wouldnt be a problem? There is probably a simple answert for this...TIA!!!
