The only solution I know of is to use a view with the appropriate information. Create the necessary index tags in the Load event of the form. Set the icMainAlias to the view and you should be good.

Check out VMDECTY1.SCX for an example of using a view icMainAlias. The only difference being you will also be setting up sort behaivior with SetIndexTagInfo. If you have any other questions, post them here or onthe VMP site.
