Wayne,

It seems to me there has been a confusion between the INDEX EXPRESSION and the FILTER EXPRESSION (for the index). I was asking for the FILTER EXPRESSION, which can be obtained through the function FOR() (I learned this in other replies to my question). I think you should add this to your sample code: it seems to me that you save index name and expression, but not the filter expression. I didn't test this, but I don't see any code to save the filter expression. Example: if I index with a command like: INDEX ON CLIENTCODE TAG CLCODE CANDIDATE FOR NOT DELETED(), I think the index name (CLCODE) and the expression (CLIENTCODE) would be maintained, but the filter (NOT DELETED()) would not.

Hilmar.
