PACK has always done a REINDEX - it has to.

This is because it physically eliminates records, thus changing the positions of records, rendering (old) record numbers in indexes invalid.

PACK actually copies (undeleted) records to a new temporary table, REINDEXes that new table, and deletes the old table and renames te temporary ones to the original nems.

>I’ve noticed that during packing VFP70 does an implicit reindexing. In this regard, is it a _complete_ reindexing (i.e. DELETE TAG ALL, INDEX ON …) or a mere emulation of REINDEX command. I am asking because after packing a do a complete reindexing anyway, and now i am wondering if it is really nesessary.
