>>>I hope this is a case of too much turkey over the holidays. I think i found a bug with Table Buffering. If i have a cursor with buffering set to 5(table) and change a value of an indexed field, then try to seek on the field i just changed, SEEK returns true (which it should not since the value no longer exists in the table) and the record pointer is left on the next record in the index order. I tested the following program in both VFP5.0a and VPF6.0 and got the same results. PLEASE somebody tell me i am crazy or i am doing something totally wrong.

This is what is very strange. Not only did the seek fail and it told me otherwise, it leaves the record pointer on the wrong record.

I have never seen this behavior either, but I am sure it is because I don't use your method. I am curious, does this same behavior happen with the SEEK command (not the function). IOW, if you issue a SEEK and then check FOUND(), what does it return?
