However it doesn't seem to this problem. We're actually using a Norwegian collation table in this particular case. Also both the lower & upper case codes for the ø character is > 128 I've got a bit closer. SEEK("Bjørn") && Fails SEEK("BJØRN") && Fails SEEK("BJøRN") && Works! So in other words xBase is not making the ø upper case in the index... Thanks anyway!
