All in all, it doesn't really work! :) The real problem (bug, IMHO) is that VFP accepts indexes on variable length
char expressions. And regardless of any advice you may get from anybody in favor of such indexes, I can't advice
against enough. The problems generated by such indexes are subtle and, usually, hard to find and hard to fix.
