Hi Peter.

I'd like to see the code you've been running. Its important to compare apples to apples. For example, if you...

set order to tagname
for i = 1 to 10
seek "something"
endfor

versus...

for i = 1 to 10
set order to tagname
seek "something"
endfor

You'll get very different timings. I bring this up because...


for i = 1 to 10
set order to tagname
seek "something"
endfor

is the same behavior as...

for i = 1 to 10
=seek("something",,"tagname")
endfor

and look at the lookup function. It used to be the fastest way to seek something and return a value (like a decription for a code from a lookup table). Just remember to specify the forth parameter (index tag name).
