>Hi Tore and Michel. I also wrote some routines a few years ago that does this. I guess we all have in order to solve this problem!

The use of an index on the source table allows the word master tables to automatically update as new records are added or removed from the source table or as the contents of the fields being indexed changes. This is usefull.

The downside is that the words master file and link back tables plus their indexes were as big as the source table which effectively doubled the space requirements :( It is also an entirely VFP solution except for a small dll that a collegue wrote in assembler to parse all the words out of the source fields being indexed. This was for speed so that updates could be done fast in real time as records were added or changed.

I see two things. The first one would be to release an article for the Universal Thread Magazine and to release the component in the Downloads. I will let the discussion evolve more so we can gather more feedback on the topic.
