>I'm using VFP 6 SP5. The SEEK function works for me about 90% of the time. I'm begining to think there is a bug in the function - maybe fixed in later VFP's. It does seem that INDEXSEEK works and so does the SEEK statement. I'm going to try and see if I can create a program to exactly recreate. The program that it's failing on is a big program so I will have to narrow it down a little.

SEEK works okay, even with the cTagName paramenter, in V6. With EXACT set ON, the search expression needs to be padded to the key field width and of same case.
