Based on an 87-fb(-1) data set collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory, a search for D-0-(D) over bar (0) mixing has been made using the semileptonic decay modes D*+-->pi(+)D(0), D-0-->K((*))enu (+c.c.). The use of these modes allows unambiguous flavor tagging and a combined fit of the D-0 decay time and D*+-D-0 mass difference (DeltaM) distributions. The high-statistics sample of unmixed semileptonic D-0 decays is used to model the DeltaM distribution and time dependence of mixed events directly from the data. Neural networks are used to select events and reconstruct the D-0. A result consistent with no charm mixing has been obtained, R-mix=0.0023+/-0.0012+/-0.0004. This corresponds to an upper limit of R-mix<0.0042 (90% C.L.).
