Locate method - Delphi V3 / BDE 4.51 - Paradox

Hello:

I am using Paradox Tables with BDE 4.51.

I have a component for incremental search in tables that use the locate
method. It can use several keys. All works fine until I must put a third
key field of integer type. Now seems that locate returns always false, I
tried many ways (with/without Partial/CaseSensitive) but always returns
false.

My conclusion may be:
a) Locate don't work with numeric fields.
b) Locate have a bug.

Someone has the same problem? Can resolve it?

Thanks.
Sorry my english.
Sky

Here are at least a few of the details you need to include in your question.

What is the structure of the table?
What is the structure of all the indexes used by the table?
What is the active index when you try to use Locate?
What are the 3 fields you are trying to use in the index?

What for do you need this information ?!
I using locate in a component, it must work with any table using the active
index (obviously the index is agree with the search keys).
The component was working fine with string fields. The problems begin when
it must work with integer fields.
