Description

 

 

When seeking multi-segmented indexes, you should pass all segments if you want to do an exact seek. When you want to seek on not all of the segments, you should set the lSoftSeek to TRUE

 

IF there is a scope on the active index, BtTable:Seek() will check the scope and return FALSE and set the server to EOF when the record that is found falls out of the scope.
