Sequntial reading/writing

Hi, I have 4 fields in a form. uniqueid (number), Alias (name), Status, Offense.
Only the first field is a number the rest are letters. i would like to write to a sequential file and also call the
record by unique id from the sequential file and have the rest the info fill in. If no record is found... I dunno maybe a msgbox like: "Record not found". The msg box dont mattter as long as i can call all of the
Form info by unique id and Alias. I thought it would be "Not hard" (Not simple altho') but im stumped.

Again just a simple sequential file displaying its info in the form. Type in unique id - get all the field filled.
Type in the Alias - get all the fields filled w/ appropriate records. anxious.

Nobody cares about that any more
