Difference between Find and Find first.

[make]

Hi Peggers,

I am discovered the following problem, i want to look for a special record and i tried to use the find statement. But nothing was found. When i use the find first statement, the right record was found.

I dont understand this. Isnt it so, that the find statement delivers all the records i specified in the find statement ?

Sorry for my English !

HI
If you use FIND you can find a few records and AVAILABLE function return false but AMBIGOUOS (or something like this) function return true. It means that more than one records you find. FIND FIRST always find first record.
If you have only one record which satisfy a conditions FIND and FIND FIRST return this same results.
Sorry for my english too :awink:

Make,

If you have several records which meet the criteria you are searching for you would need to use 'for each' (or a combination of 'find first' and 'find next').

You would then have to test further to ensure the record you have retrieved is the one you require.
