Hi Luis
some things to take:

'locate' is a command to tell the table or cursor to go to the top of records.
'locate' is more fast than 'go top'

'locate for' sweeps all the records begining with the top until finding the concerned by the request.no need to tell him "locate or go top" before.
if your cursor is the recordsource of the grid and 'locate for' finds the searched record,the cursor is auto positioned on it when setfocus(see the recordMark and the highlight color).
it follows until the bottom(eof()).
no need to tell him to go to this record.if you see the grid its auto focused and highlighted on the found record.
