I have been searching the archives here for a while now and find several threads that seem on point, yet a solution is eluding me. I am simply trying to do a seek on an indexed table, which is bound to a grid on a form. I need the pointer to stop where it would as in SET NEAR ON. It's going to EOF.

Pertinent info:
-no dataenvironment is being used.
-in the .init of the form, I SET NEAR ON, open the table, set the index order, set rowsourcetype=1 and rowsource='mytable'
-form launches and displays the content of 'mytable' in the grid
-I put the search string in a memory variable, and then conduct the search (SEEK) with a command button and then call grid.setfocus
-the pointer keeps coming out at EOF.

I know I'm probably missing something simple. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
