Missing record from hash lookup

Hi,
I created a hash file and later look it up on a sequential file. I have a missing record. Its just missing 1 record in the lookup. What would be the reason. Any guesses???
Thanks
Sam

You failed to write it to the hash file because of a key definition violation.

Or

You wrote it to the hash file but your primary key definition allowed another row to overwrite it.

Or

You read it from a sequential file into the hash, and had First Row is Column Names checked, but the first row is actually your missing row.
