WAG:

The IDX index wasn't open when country "115" recs were added? One trouble with IDXs - you have to explicitly tell VFP to open them with the table - a problem you don't get with CDXs.

even WAG:
Does the following make any difference:

lcSeekKey = m.country+m.code
seek( lcSeekKey,"table","IDX")
