>"However this index is useless"! This information is completely wrong!!! A binary index tag on deleted() can speed up your queries a lot, unlike orinary index tag on deleted() in previous versions of VFP. But I expect you to deny this statement. (Sigh in advance!)
I tend to think of an index on deleted() more likely to be harmful than helpful - what sort of improvements have been made in recent versions?
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
