Jim,
In the code you show I don't see any place where you have opened the view or table you're indexing, in either snippet. And what exactly to you want the DBSetProp() command to do?

You might want to design a simple view with the view designer, setting fields to update etc., and then run GenDBC() to see exactly how the code should look. Then use this as a model for your code.
