>Recently a user has reported an intermittant problem that appears to be related to the indexing of a local view. The code in question has been running for years w/o issue. The errorlog is reporting the error as "FILE IS NOT OPEN" and it appears to occur on the INDEX line below:

There's housekeeping code in place that deletes 2 day old *.TMP files from the temp folder (on the user's C drive). However, i realized that the housekeeping code was deleting just TMP files and that a good number of CDX files (now deleted) were still in that folder.

Why not index it once in the load of the form ? I see no need to delete and recreate the indexes for every requery()
