>>>How might one go about this?
>>>The field is: SkNo N(4,0)
>>>
>>>Index on SkNo Tag SkNo
>>>Index on STR(SkNo,4,0) Tag SkNoA
>>>
>>>Data:
>>> 250
>>> 350
>>> 680
>>>6500
>>>
>>>Letting the user type, seek on the tag SkNo requires the full number to be typed; seek on the tag SkNoA brings you to 6500 before 680. What index could be created to get to 680 first and 6500 second?
