>>This is an extract from the VFP Help:
>>"RECNO( ) issued without the optional arguments nWorkArea or cTableAlias returns the current record number for the table in the currently selected work area.
>>If you have issued SEEK unsuccessfully in an indexed table, you can specify 0 for nWorkArea to use “soft seek” logic to return the record number of the closest matching record. RECNO(0) returns 0 if a close match cannot be found. Visual FoxPro generates an error message if you issue GO RECNO(0) when a close match isn’t found."
>>
>>My question is how do I bypass GO RECNO(0) without generating an error.If I try to LOCATE FOR records that are not in the table , the error message is generated.
>>Any Suggestions?
