Views don't have indexes (the "order by" is not the same as an index). You'll have to build one programatically in this case:
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>CLOSE DATABASES
>OPEN DATABASE ('c:\diamondaccounti\inventory')
>
>if !used('intrancust')
>use intrancust
>else
>select ('intrancust')
>endif
INDEX ON stocknum TAG STOCKNUM
>
>SEEK Thisform.Combo4.value
>
>
>IF FOUND( )
> Thisform.CHARGEPERKARAT1.VALUE = chgperkt
> Thisform.MEASUREMENTS1.VALUE = measure
> Thisform.Combo3.VALUE = cut
> Thisform.Combo2.VALUE = colors..............
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This can be a real bottleneck if you have a view with a large result set.
