Jim, try this. Add some comments to an index. The use the DCT file
and you will see the index comments. The leading characters preceeding
the comments are not deciferable to me. I can do some crude code to
extract the index comments but I would think that would be the purpose
of the DBGETPROP().

The sad thing is that I can add comments manually but not programatically.
You may be correct that the comments are added to the project- I did not
look there. But I can assure you that they are also contained in the
DCT file of the database container.

I was attempting to utilize this info to grab a description of the index
file in a class to change the order of a table. I saw this technique
done manually in Whil Hentzen's newest book "Fundamentals". I was merely
going to try and go one step better but am at a road block now. Perhaps
it can't be done since to my knowledge Doug Henning, editor of the
Fundamentals book, is probably the subject matter expert on the DBC.

Then again, maybe it can be done...
