LOCATE FOR will work on any field (given a performance penality if not indexed). It can be used in conjunction with CONTINUE to go from one match to another. You need to check Found() to know if a match was found. You can combine expression also.

Ex.:
LOCATE FOR State = "NY" AND Income > 50000
IF Found()
ENDIF

SEEK will work on indexed field only. It's a line line test if you use the function Seek() instead of the command SEEK.

Ex.:
IF Seek("Larin", "Client", "LastName")
ENDIF

The new IndexSeek() function works like Seek(), except that it doesn't move the pointer.
