Hi,
Thank you for your help.

My key is cName C(25)+cBrNum C(3)+cBrName C(20)

Yes, all SEEK, SEEK() and INDEXSEEK() are failing.

The value of lcTxtVal is "William 003Woodland Hills " 48 chars long.

This is what is shown in the Watch window of the debugger.

I don't understand why it doesn't find it? I know it does exist in the dbf, 100% sure (verified).

Again, thanks for your help.
