Terry,

Why use SEEK command if there's SEEK() function?

IF SEEK(lcKey, "MyTable", lcKeyTag) 
  * Record found
ELSE
ENDIF

>In my grand scheme to NOT have to "SELECT cMyTableName", I applied VFP seek structures. Its been a while since I reviewed the SEEK syntax, and was pleasantly surprised to see some new features. But I am hving problems making them work.
