Thank goodness! :)

Any chance you are adding records without the index open? Such as from something other than VFP. Because if you add records to a .DBF from another program and the other program doesn't open the .CDX than it won't update the .CDX.

The other thing that I would suggest is rebuilding the index from scratch rather than issuing the REINDEX command. Whenever we put a pack/reindex feature in an application we always delete the .CDX file first and then use the INDEX ON command to rebuild the index.

Hope that helps,
Don
