>use the seek() function. it does what you are looking for.


Mark,

I tried! It uses 3 parms, right? No matter what I tried, VFP gave me an error stating I was missing a ")". I was not to my knowledge. It's only:

SEEK(eExpression [, nWorkArea | cTableAlias
[, nIndexNumber | cIDXIndexFileName | cTagName]])

So I used:

SEEK(myvalue, mytable, mytable)

My table in this situation, mytable, has the same name for both the DBF and CDX file.

Any ideas?

Mark
