>I was talking to a friend about this the other day and he suggested I create a dummy DBC with a dummy table. In the dummy table I have an update trigger which calls a stored procedure to open a table (along with the non-structural index file), reindex it, and then close it. The dummy table has a column for the name of the table to be reindexed. So, via ODBC, in order to cause a particular table to be reindexed, we just need to send an update command to change the table name column in the dummy table (the table has only 1 record). This fires the trigger which then goes off and reindexes the specified table. A similar approach could be used to cause almost any VFP code to be run.

You can even pass 'parameters' to the trigger by adding one or more fileds to this table and populate them with info you want to pass into trigger.
