>Well, in the absense of adequate information, it's difficult to figure out what to use for names. My own practice is to use the names of fields for tags; clearly this differs from your practice. You could, if you wanted to, restate the select I proposed to accurately reflect the data in your tables. Good luck.

Ed,
I also use the names of fields for tags when it is a direct simple index.
Like ORDER CLT_CODE for the field CLT.CLT_CODE C(7).

But in this case the index is:

Index tag: PAYE
Key: CL_CODE For: FA_GENRE="FA" AND ABS(FA_TOTAL)>ABS(FA_ZPAYED)

And I already have an index with the name of CL_CODE

See?
