Ok, my problem is that I have to move the pointer to a certain a record
in a table depending on the values of three fields (1 numeric, 2
characters). Now, I've only used seek in cases where the expression
is very simple (just one field).
My questions are: can I use seek in this case? what would be the
expressions of the index and the seek command? If this is impossible
with seek, can I use locate instead and use an index to speed the process?
what would be the expressions for this case?
which one is faster locate or seek?

one more question, can I use locate recursively? something like this:

locate for field=var1
do while found()
if field2='ncc'
this.method_Using_LocateDoWhile_with_same_table(var2)
endif
enddo


TIA
