The NA52 experiment searches for long-lived massive strange quark matter particles, so-called {ital strangelets}, produced in Pb-Pb collisions at a beam momentum of {ital p}{sub lab}=158 AGeV/{ital c}. Upper limits for the production of strangelets at zero degree production angle covering a mass to charge ratio up to 120 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} and lifetimes {ital t}{sub lab}{approx_gt}1.2 {mu}s are given. The data presented here were taken during the 1994 lead beam running period at CERN. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
