>If there's index order set on the table foxpro has to use that index in SCAN to find next record regardless if there is or not WHILE !EOF(). The only difference WHILE !EOF() clause makes that SCAN starts processing from the current record in table not from the top.

Sergey,

Yep, I agree with you. And I even ran a test (thinking maybe I have been wrong for 10 years about how SCAN/ENDSCAN works), that proved it correct. Yes, it ran a bit slower with an index set (as one would expect it to). But there was no change at all whether WHILE !EOF() was used or not on the indexed scan. I even tried DO WHILE !EOF() (which I never use, but wanted to test anyway).

So, I guess there's no truth to *that* rumor, Nadya. < g >
