>>Ok, my turn to ask for help. But first a short quote from VFP help:
>>Subject: INDEX ON eExpression TAG TagName OF CDXFileName
>>"If a compound index file has already been created and opened, issuing INDEX with TAG TagName adds a tag to the compound index file."
>>Ok, so far I follow. But the problem I encounter is trying to add a tag that has already been added. How do I find the existing tags?

>Use the TAG() function; iterate through the tags starting at 1 and going up with each sequental return; TAG() will return an empty string if a tag number beyond the last defined tag for the CDX is passed. Example:

>USE MyTable INDEX MyTable.CDX, NonStruc.CDX
>nEnumTagCtr = 1
>DO WHILE ! EMPTY(TAG('NonStruc', nEnumTagCtr))
>   ? TAG('NonStruc', nEnumTagCtr)
