DexName=sys(3)
index on whatever tag another of (DexName)

This way the index doesn't overlap with any other file. Your problem may be that you use the same alias for the cursor twice, without closing the first . You may use a similar approach:
CursorAlias="C"+sys(3)

create cursor (CursorAlias) ...

Though this shouldn't have happened at all - I've created the same cursor over and over in the same procedure many times. Well, maybe it was in the same datasession. Anyway, the above approach will work, provided you take care of the scope of the DexName and CursorAlias variables - you may be better off using form properties instead.
