OK, now I'm totally confused. After re-reading the docs it appears that if you have a record with a key value of A, change it to B, then add a new record with key value A it won't appear in the index. However, a quick test doesn't bear this out. It seems like there is always one record in the index per key value without reindexing.

Anyone?

>>>I disagree with your statement "Unique indexes aren't maintained." From the help:
>>>
>>>When a UNIQUE index or index tag is active and a duplicate record is changed in a manner that changes its index key, the index or index tag is updated. However, the next duplicate record with the original index key cannot be accessed or displayed until you reindex the file using REINDEX.
