>>>I am using a cursor for the recordsource of one of my grids. In the header click events I am creating a IDX index to sort the records in the grid which works great, but for some reason I can't get the cursor to hold more than one IDX file. Is this the normal for a cursor to only hold one IDX, or am I doing something wrong? Also if I set the order of the IDX to (DESC) it works fine, but I have to create the IDX index once again to reorder it to ASC. Any help greatly appreciated!!

>>Try creating tags in a structural CDX file as an alternative. And, maybe, when the cursor is created create the tags you will need as well....in the header click method, just switch tags then.

>>
>>CREATE CURSOR test (name C(50), address C(50), dob D, member L)
>>INDEX ON name TAG name
>>INDEX ON address TAG address
>>INDEX ON dob TAG dob
>>INDEX ON member TAG member
>>
>>*** The structural CDX is implied and created when you create the first tag.

>>In the Header click:

>>SET ORDER TO TAG {whatever appropriate}

Oooops. Correction. No quotes in type("field(ix)") -type(field(ix))-
