>I am having troubles. I have two character fields in a table. I have created an index called pcloc (PadR(field1 + " " + field2,24,' '). In code I use Select myTable, Seek(PadR(variable,24,' '). I feed the variable with aknown record value and I still get not found. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps you need to use ALLTRIM (so ALLT(field1)+" "+ALLT(field2)). In any case, compare your pcloc expression with your padr(variable,24,'') and see if that's the same first before trying anything else.
