Selecting a table in another work area had no effect, nor did selecting the next open work area. Issuing a SELECT statement against a different table didn't have any effect either. Perhaps this may be an easier workaround than the one you have.

Hi John,

Maybe I missed something, but I couldn't duplicate your results. The SELECT without an INTO clause pops up an empty query on each loop iteration, but the INDEXSEEK on AnyTable still returns .F.. I tried it _with_ an INTO CURSOR clause, which also changes work areas of course, but that didn't alter the results of the INDEXSEEK---still .F.. Did you do something else differently?
