Hello Bret

I have used PHD for many years, and I have a lot of problems.

Problem no. 1: if the file ha too many records, meaning more than one million records in practice, it simply crashes. So I must do much housework to pack the file and reindex. And since VFP can not reindex the xx.phd-file, I must delete the phd-tag, reindex, and then do a phd('index ....) command.

Problem no. 2: With big files, in my case about 850.000 records, PHD simply can not find all records which it should.

For me these 'bugs' means that I must have two search options, if PHD can not find it, I must use a SELECT xxx WHERE yy$zz which of course is extremely slow.

A bugfixed PHD, or if MSF implemented something similar in VFP9 or VFP10, has been on top of my wishlist for years.
