>I have run into a problem witht he way VFP names Views and View CDXs. To recreate my observation create a simple view on any table. Then look at its name with DBF(). the result will be a temproray, generated file name like "G4DW000R.TMP" Now index the view on any field and check the index file name with CDX(1). The result should be "G4DW000R.CDX", and should have the same path as the view file name, which should be the path to your temp directory.

Now add a tag to the view, and check the name again. The condition now is even worse, as you will have a structural and a non-structural CDX. Repeat the steps a couple of times, and you start get a real mess.

I usually have a function/method for such cases, which requeries my view and reindexes it to compact IDX file.
