>>Thank you, I have been trying to find the a way of getting an incremental search to work on a numeric 4,0 field in a grid. I will have numbers like 250, 350, 650, 6300. The index

PADR(TRANSFORM(numfld),4)

will bring me to the 6300 before the 650. I believe I have the answer to the seek now. I'll have to index

PADL(TRANSFORM(numfld),4,"0")

Then seek on according to what Sergey suggested.

INDEX ON PADL(TRANSFORM(numfld),4,"0")
>INDEX ON PADL(numfld,4,"0")
>INDEX ON numfld
>INDEX ON STR(numfld,4)

all sort records in the same order.

Thank you Sergey. After I complete this, I just might look into uploading it.
