I deleted and then Packed.

What 'operation'?... By 'hammer' do you mean breaks or do you mean seems to read it inordinately muchly?

By hammer I mean that it no longer finds the records in the index.


>3) What version of VFP7 are you running - original or SP1?

VFP7.0 SP1

>4) What are your EXACT

>>Hi,
>>
>>I have a table that has 2 indexes. All this table does is track the login and logout times of the users. I went in and deleted a bunch of old records and then it quit working. It appears that this operation hammers thes index. Any ideas what might be causing this. I just switched the app from VFP5 to VFP7 if that matters.
