>There is an index on TableFormProperties.TableName, but the date is in mixed case, so I can't do a SEEK (or can I?). I'm doing this in a LOCATE, but that seems a bit wrong somehow. Is this the right way to do it, or is there a better way.

It's my opinion that Alltrim() should be avoided as much as possible, unless you really need it. This code will give the same result, and will be much faster if you have an index tag on upper(Tablename). It will also be independent of the Set Exact setting:

lcTableName = "MyTableName"
SELECT TableFormProperties
lcTableName = padr(lcTableName,len(TableName))
LOCATE FOR UPPER(TableName) == upper(lcTableName)
