And only after they begin explaining what it was does it come back to me. It's like my memory only works with "found in" searches, using LIKE(), or SOUNDEX(), but hardly ever on a direct FIND or SEEK() does it return anything except EOF(). :-)

By coincidence I've just been refreshing myself on IndexSeek() - got caught out because it respects SET DELETED so doesn't find - then when I add a record I got 'index violated' - logical given the 'SET DELETED' behaviour but pretty counter-intuitive.
