Hi,

Thanks for your responses. I discussed this problem with my manager also and he told me that there is no big differance between Primary and Candidate indexes.
So, we decided to change Type from Primary to Candidate in our IndxDict table.

And now I do this: (Right now I'm checking its functionality)

SELECT IndxDict
SCAN FOR Upper(Table)=Upper(lcTableName)

lcCommand=;
"INDEX ON AllTrim("+IndxExpr+") TAG Alltrim(" +TagName+ ")"+;
IIF(Not Empty(Filter), " FOR Alltrim("+Filter+")","")+;
IIF(UPPER(Type)="CANDIDATE"," CANDIDATE","")
SELECT (lcTableName)
&lcCommand

SELECT IndxDict
ENDSCAN


>You can use ALTER TABLE to add a primary key.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
