You can't use the Find methods, such as FindFirst, on a Snapshot created with ListParameters.  The Fields collection is not available in Snapshots created by the ListTables, ListFields, ListIndexes, and ListParameters methods; therefore, you can't access the field values using an index into the Fields collection.  To access the field values, you must explicitly use the name of each field.
