>>>VFP 9 no longer supports index expressions of this type. The reason is that DTOC() can give inconsistent results depending on the setting on SET CENTURY -- with that OFF, the result is 8 characters long, but 10 with that being ON. Try using DTOS() instead (of course, you'll have to change any SEEK statements accordingly).
