Now, this would apply to whom that uses collate sequences.
Config.fpw :
codepage=1254 && Turkish windows
collate=TURKISH

-create a table
-index on a field
-enter some values to that indexed field ie: 5 records all "John Smith"

select * from mytable ;
  where myfield = "John Smith" &&Displays only one record
? _tally   && Prints 0
set collate to "MACHINE"
select * from mytable ;
  where myfield = "John Smith" &&Displays all
? _tally   && Prints 5
set collate to "TURKISH"
* Same as above _tally = 0

So what could I be missing ????
