Are you sure it prevents the table from opening? This is one of the many stupid things SBT does, and while I get an error that it can't find the function, if I ignore it the table opens just fine.

>Yes y9ou can do that. However, you cannot ever open that table if tyhe UDF is not visible to VFP as it will cuase an error that will prevent the table from opening. Also, you must insure that the UDF always returns a value of the same type and length or else the index will become corrupt.
