I don't think MV participates with the OPTION BASE 0 or 1 that allows the use of REC(0) that VB etc does. MV tends to count things starting with 1 and MS starts with 0. REC<0> etc tends to be confusing as it's not the primary key either.
I use OPTION BASE 1 to keep my head on straight when progamming in VB.
