Cetin, I was also looking for an example but then I tried including the logical value for move pointer and it worked.

What confused me was the documentation in VFP 6:

INDEXSEEK(eExpression [, lMovePointer [, nWorkArea | cTableAlias
[, nIndexNumber | cIDXIndexFileName | cTagName]]])


This implies to me that the lMovePointer value is optional. If it is not optional it seems like the syntax should be:

INDEXSEEK(eExpression, lMovePointer [, nWorkArea | cTableAlias
[, nIndexNumber | cIDXIndexFileName | cTagName]])

Do you agree?
