so i do

USE addition  EXCLUSIVE
INDEX ON fname TAG fname
MODIFY STRUCTURE

when i mod structure i see fname under under NAME and expression in the indexes tab.


then in the program my code is

	SET ORDER TO TAG fname
	SEEK addition.fname && if SEEK(addition.fname,'greater ','fname') 

but it tells me no table order set and points at the SET ORDER TO ( and when i comment that it points at the seek)
as far as i know the order is set using fname

im looking for ken in Addition.fname the logic looks right to me *shrugs
