are you saying indexes in 2.6 are not as good as indexes in 3,5,6 and later
(in terms of speed of access using SEEK on an indexed field) ?

i use 2 gig look up tables and i am trying to convince my boss to redo
all of our old apps in VFP ... right now we keep them in the old dbf format

any info is appreciated,
DAve.
