Dan,

That key on Deleted() is no longer a good idea at all. It will almost surely HURT performance of a VFP application!

Some say that it has always been this way, suggesting that we were all misinformed when this "tip" originally made the rounds. I happen to disagree with that opinion, but have no way to prove it one way or the other. Just to be clear, I have NO DOUBT that an INDEX on Deleted() will most likely HURT an app.; I doubt that it has always been this way.

Cheers,

Jim N
