>Not quite a bug, but a peculiarity of foxpro:
>if you set the index to seq_no, it first tries to find an index with the _name_ seq_no. If that does not exist it will evaluate seq_no. It will then try to set the index to the result of that expression, in this case the result seems to be 1, so it sets the index to 1
>if seq_no evaluates to "k_memo" the index will be set to k_memo (if it exists)
>So, if you use an index name, you better use order "seq_no", if you want is as an expression use (seq_no)

I still think it's a bug. If I want VFP to evaliate the name I would use a name expression.
