Well, I can't speak for everybody, but Fabio, Steve and I were really only discussing the effect of DESC that SEEK gives and Seek() does not. Purely from that viewpoint, IndexSeek() doesn't change anything. I think someone else did bring up IndexSeek() in regard to the other discussion parts of the thread (but don't take that to the bank).
