SUMMARY
One method to increase the speed of a FoxBASE+ application is to substitute the SEEK command for the FIND command.



MORE INFORMATION
The SEEK command is faster than the FIND command. The FIND command uses a macro substitution when it searches for a memory variable; the SEEK command does not.

The FIND command is included in FoxBASE+ version 2.1 for compatibility with previous versions of FoxBASE+.
