ADO Seek Method
 Complete Recordset Object Reference
The Seek method searches the index of a Recordset to find a record that matches
the values specified in the keyvalues parameter. If there is a match, the pointer will point to
the record specified by the seekoption parameter. If there is no match, the record pointer will be placed at the end of the
Recordset.
Note: To use this method, the provider must support this method and the use of indexes on
a Recordset (the Index property). Use the Supports method to determine whether the
provider supports seek and indexes.
Note: Set the Index property to the desired index before executing this method.
Note: This method can only be used with server-side cursors (not supported when the
CursorLocation property value is adUseClient).
Note: This method can only be used when the Recordset object was opened with
the CommandTypeEnum value of adCmdTableDirect.
