Parameters

uValue (Optional)
Type: Usual
The value to search for. Its data type should be compatible with the controlling search order.
lSoftSeek (Optional)
Type: Usual
Determines how the attached data server is positioned if the specified key value is not found: TRUE performs a soft seek; FALSE does not. If lSoftSeek is omitted, the current SetSoftSeek() setting is used.

Return Value

Type: Usual
TRUE if successful; otherwise, FALSE. Note that a FALSE value can indicate either that the value was not found or that the server does not support this search operation. Use the DataWindow:Status property to determine the exact cause of a failure.
