One reason why bintoc() may not work in an index is a collating sequence other than "machine". Other collating sequence translate different characters into equal two-byte values (hence the case blindness of these indexes), which then means that it will not have distinct values even if the parameter of Bintoc() may have them. Furthermore, if the index is created with a different collating sequence than the one currently in use, you basically end up not being able to do a Seek() or a proper Scan on some values. I learned that the hard way ;).
