>Hi Doug
>>You could make it a free table (with SDT meta data for it). I think Visual Extend will ignore it for updating purposes (you'd have to test that) but you could change the way Reindex() is called so it gets processed. Alternatively, you could create a separate set of meta data for that table and have a specific process to reindex it (instantiating a new instance of DBCXMgr).

The second way sounds too complex for me - I'm not that good at dealing with meta data. I think I will test out your first suggestion and see if I can get reindex to work on the file..
