SecondaryCursor..::.MoveFirst Method (DatabaseEntry, DatabaseEntry, DatabaseEntry)
SecondaryCursor Class See Also Send Feedback

Set the cursor to refer to the first key/data pair of the database, and store the secondary key along with the corresponding primary key/data pair in Current. If the first key has duplicate values, the first data item in the set of duplicates is stored in Current. If key, or pkey, or data is partial DatabaseEntry, its PartialLen bytes starting PartialOffset bytes from the beginning of the retrieved data record are returned as if they comprised the entire record. If any or all of the specified bytes do not exist in the record, MoveFirst is successful, and any existing bytes are returned.
