>>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.

Of course, but sometimes we are not always in control of everything. The index on this data is not UPPER and will not be.
