Just as a side note. I love the INDEXSEEK(what to seek, move the cursor(.t..f.), table to seek in, index tag to use) function in VFP6. By setting the second parameter to .F. it allows you to look for things with out moving the current record pointer. I like it so much I way over use it.

Before I discovered this command I was constantly saving the current record seeking and then on failure trying to return to the old record (pain in the tail).


Adding INDEXSEEK to what the others have already given you should make the job fairly simple for you

It is impossible to make programs idiot proof. Idiots are too cleaver.
