Hi Doug,

If I recreate the indexes, will the relational links between my tables need to be recreated too? All of my tables are part of a DBC, thus, creating new indexes may be a real headache.

Most of my clients are out of state, so I need to make the applications self maintaining. My applications are usually self-standing EXEs (my clients don't own VFP). I'm hoping to do as little as possible to achieve the physical removal of deleted records, so to avoid any possible complications or corruptions. It would be a different story if I visited my client's for periodic maintenance on their systems, but this is not the case (since they are out of state).

There won't be any changes to the physical structure of the DBC, tables, or indexes. Thus, I'm assuming that the cdx files will pretty much maintain their integrity for a fair amount of time. Is this a wrong assumption?

Dave
