Pedro,

It may be that the record with codigo is already in the table and was deleted.
if you have SET DELETED ON, the seek(codigo) will return .F. if that record was deleted

solution
a)
local sDeleted, AlreadyIn
sDeleted = set('Deleted')
set Deleted Off
AlreadyIn = seek(codigo)
set Deleted &sDeleted
return !AlReadyIn

b) modify the Candidate key and use the filter for !deleted()

2) if you want the error messages in your own language you will have to trap them in the error routine of your form.
See the tastrade example for how to do that
