OK, I can see how there would be a problem with re-creating an index for zero records if TRIM were part of the index expression. I learned a long time ago not to do that. Nor are the field names reserved.

In any case .... it seems like simply removing all tags and filters before the ZAP eliminates the problem anyways.

Thanks,
