>I was trying to search a view and got an error because the search class I was using couldn't find an 'order'. It was assuming that I had done a SET ORDER TO on a table. That made me realize the view itself didn't have an order, just the underlying tables. I was sort of assuming I could search the view based on the TAGS of those table(s), but since the tables are in different work areas that doesn't seem likely. Is that correct, and do I actually have to create a temporary INDEX ON 'blah' so I can do a search in the view.

Hi Sylvia,

If you want to do a SEEK(), you'll have to create a temporary Index on the view. Or, if there aren't too many records, you could do a LOCATE FOR ... to keep it simple.
