Woopsy. You're right. It would help my testing practice if I tested with a tag that really existed. I had tested with the equivalent of the following:

create table testorder ('field1' c(10))
index on upper(field1) tag testseek
seek 'Test' order tag testorder

Sorry, Jimmy.

I would go with Mike's first suggestion: ensure that the alias is current before issuing your SEEK, or better yet, use the IN clause.
