In the help, it says:


If you use the LOCATE command without the FOR expression, Visual FoxPro positions the record pointer at the first logical record


That implies to me that with the 'for' clause included, it does NOT do implicit 'go top', and instead starts with the next record. If her condition is not met by something in the rest of the table, it would return false.
