>Thanks guys for responding. This is a legacy app and I didn't want to change the "append blanks" to "inserts". The solution was to use a filter on the index. I have never before done that. Thanks.
Buffering is better, IMO - for a new application. For a legacy application, if the filtered index works, then I think that should be OK.
