It should be if seek(forms.account,"form_temp", "account_no"), IOW, the second parameter should be a name of the table, which should be searched (in quotes) and the last parameter should be an tag name in the table form_temp. If the tag name is account, it should be "account". Check the Help file on seek() function.
