Hello monikai

SEEK() is the equivalent of issuing a SEEK command and then FOUND().


example.

SEEK something
if FOUND()
do something
endif

or

if seek(something)
do something
endif

The help is pretty clear:

FOUND( ) returns a logical value that indicates whether the most recently executed CONTINUE, FIND, INDEXSEEK( ), LOCATE, or SEEK was successful, or if the record pointer was moved in a related table. FOUND( ) returns true (.T.) if the search is successful; otherwise FOUND( ) returns false (.F.).

If a match is found, SEEK( ) returns true (.T.), and the record pointer moves to the matching record. If no match is found, SEEK( ) returns false (.F.) and the record pointer moves to the end of the file. Issuing SEEK( ) is equivalent to issuing SEEK and FOUND( ) in succession.
