I didn't know that VFP would do it for you automatically, but I should have guessed. YOu can't really view the index, but you can open the dbc as a table, and MODIFY STRUCTURE, and check to see that the index tags I gave you are there.


>I already deleted the dcx and when I opened the dbc, VFP recreated a dcx. Is this as good as your suggestion? Can I trust the index that was created automatically or should I create it manually by your method? By the way, how can I view the index to check it?
