Lines: 18 Hello, Recently, I posted a request for help concerning a dBASE III+ problem with an index file. Specifically, when a database file was used along with its index file and information was to be retreived via the SEEK command, the data couldn't be found. A search for this data through the DISPLAY command was successful. This problem was resolved as follows: This index file was large, 41 characters long. The length of the index files SHOULD be divisible by 4. When this index file was reformed with 3 spaces added at the end the SEEK command search was successful. Thanks to all who replied.
