Hi, Mike.

Thanks for kicking in here.

The table NewEnroll is indexed on StuFKey + cTerm. So, SEEKing cTerm is going to return .F. The very nature of the error message has me puzzled (error #12: variable cTerm not found). cTerm should not be found during the SEEK statement; it is part of the index key. Add to that the fact that it works flawlessly after the initial attempt, and I am absolutely stumped.

Any thoughts or work-arounds??

TIA,
John
