I know that the VFP indexes on tables will bloat. The app I wrote has indexe on 1 of the tables of about 2.5 meg. When I re-indexed the table it went down to 1.5 meg.

The bloat for the index makes sense because we are re-using records in the table. Does this index bloat slow VFP down alot? Or does the bloat just waste space?

Thanks,
Dale
