>I'm creating an add-on VFP application to a FoxPro for Windows app. As part of it, I need to create a new index in the FoxPro Windows table. Can I create a temporary index? i.e. INDEX ON field1 + field2 to TEMP. Then at the form exit, erase the index.

Yes, but you have to explicitly erase the .IDX file that you create yourself with the ERASE command or an equivlant. there's no such thing as an auto-self-destructing index file.
