To avoid that, you can give the PACK command once a month. This command will eliminate all deleted records.

The difference is the following. With such an index, you can still quickly locate deleted records:
set order to ...
seek .T.
but the index will not automatically be used in Rushmore Optimization.
However, I would recommend just to PACK your tables once a month (or once a week, or once a fortnight), since this seems much simpler.
