I am posting this again cause I dont know where this message went and I am not ble to search it using the search facility provided by UT.

What would you suggest is the right and fast method of the two:

SELECT <mydbf>
SCAN FOR SEEK(<expr>)
   SELECT <otherdbf>
   ...
   ...
   ...

   SELECT <mydbf>
   DELETE
ENDSCAN

                        OR

SELECT <mydbf>
SCAN WHILE SEEK(<expr>)
   SELECT <otherdbf>
   ...
   ...
   ...

   SELECT <mydbf>
   DELETE
ENDSCAN

Thanks in advance for any suggesstions
