Rich,
I wouldn't say you were 'full of it', but if you create a non-structural tag with the 'OF' clause, you don't need the table opened exclusively. I believe it's been this way for many versions. This is the only real advantage of this type.

>Someone please tell me if I'm full of it here, becuase if this has changed in 6.0 I need to know it. Is there some form of creating a temporary index, or creating an index on a cursor, which doesn't require exclusive use in 6.0?
