If you have the appropriate indexes built, then the locate command is just as fast and allows what you are looking for:
locate all for birthd = m.birthd and patname.value = tablename.fieldname
or, you could build a index to have all the fields that you are looking for:
index on birthd + value tag searchkey
then do the seek like:
seek birthd + value
HTH!
>Does anyone know how I can do an extensive seek. Something like:
>Seek (birthd) and patname.value = tablename.fieldname and etc etc
