I guess I'm a little confused as to what you're tyring to acomplish here. Are you using one of his PickListForm's gizmos? If you are, than in the CreateIndexTags() method of the grid you can put something like:

select sitems_lookup
if .f.
*
* index tags can be created explicitly referencing
* the tag name in THIS.iaColumnInfo[xx,3]
*
index on InvNum tag (THIS.iaColumnInfo[1,3])
index on Descrip tag Descrip
index on sitems_pk tag sitems_pk
endif
*
* or index tags can be created by indirectly
* referencing the tag name in THIS.iaColumnInfo[xx3]
*
index on InvNum tag (THIS.iaColumnInfo[1,3])
index on Descrip tag (This.iaColumnInfo[2,3])
index on sitems_pk tag (This.iaColumnInfo[3,3])


Then in the SetIndexTagInfo() method of the same grid put something like:
THIS.iaColumnInfo[1,3] = "InvNum"
THIS.iaColumnInfo[2,3] = "Descrip"
THIS.iaColumnInfo[3,3] = 'stiems_pk'

I'm assuming you mean VMP4 and VFP5.
1) Are you one of the beta testers for VMP4?
2) You should be doing some serious thinking about using VFP6 - VMP4 likes it much better.

>>>I've got a pick list that is using a LOOKUP() function in one of the columns. The problem is that I wan to index on that field. We have been able to index on LOOKUP() functions before but that would be only if we were using a view in the pick list, which we are not. We need to see all records in the pick list but this view takes much too long because of the number of records.
