I'm trying to use an INDEXSEEK in my row validation to enforce
uniqueness. There IS a candidate index on the field - I'm just using the row valid to get a meaningful error message back to my users.

code is:
IF INDEXSEEK(origins.orig_num,.f.,"origins","byloc")

When I run this, Fox gives me a "illegal recursion rule evaluation"

I know you can't move the record pointer in validation - I thought that was the whole point of INDEXSEEK.

What am I missing here?
