>The others have shown you how to index a view so you can use SEEK. This is a good method, and I use it all the time. But if all you need to do is to move the record pointer in a view that contains only a few records, it would be easier (and probably faster) to just use LOCATE FOR

And much more versatile, since you can do LOCATEs on things without having thunk up how to build the right index ahead of time, too!
