Hi Denis ---
We have seen this one before. There seems to be a problem with SEEK and datetimes.....the solution would be to use TTOC() in the index expression and the SEEK.
>I am using VFP 5.0a. I have a table indexed on a Datetime field type.
>There are multiple records with the same date, but different times, and I want to position on the first record for a particular date.
>
>The problem is that the code works perfectly while running within VFP, but the seek leaves me at EOF() when I build and run within an EXE.
>
>**all of the following examples work when within VFP, but not within an EXE
>
>use mytable order datetime
>seek ctot( "05/30/99")
>seek ctot( "05/30/99 12:00:00 AM" )
>seek ctot( dtoc( ThisForm.txtBDate.value )+" 12:00:00 AM" )
>
>Can anybody shed any light on this problem?
>
>Thanks
