>In the code you supplied, you first did a SEEK to find the first occurence of the needed record(s), then the LOCATE with the WHILE clause. Would adding the REST clause make any difference in speed? I'm not trying to pick here, I just don't know. That is, does the LOCATE have to go back and start from BOF even though you did a SEEK to the first occurence? If so, would adding the REST clause cause it to start where the current record pointer is and save some time?

Hi Bill,
If pointer would go back then WHILE expr would be evaluated to .F. immediately and these two commands would provide even different results. I mean that adding REST you hurt nothing and get nothing.
