>>You can create a non-structural .CDX using the TAG blah OF woof.CDX clause; I haven't checked, but it may be that creating a single index on a read-only cursor results in a non-structural CDX as well; I haven't tested, but it would make sense given the behavior of indexes on cursors from SQL Selects (you can create one index on the result of a SELECT... INTO CURSOR, but to have more than one, you have to reopen the cursor in read/write mode by USE AGAIN, so that the cursor's header can be updated - this would hint at the single index not being a structural index, since it's created without the ability to write into the header of the temporary table.)

>Hmm... I don't use the OF clause either... I do index SELECT...INTO CURSOR results at times, but don't recall getting the Non-Structural message on those cursors. Unless VFP isn't really complaining about the indexes on the views. More data-gathering to do. Thanks.

The problem would be cursors from SQL SELECT; a view is writable even if not updatable.
