Ed, I've learned through hard experience that NOFILTER makes a 'real' cursor (instead of a filtered copy of the table) but does NOT always write the cursor to disk.

Michelle, I think this may indeed be your problem. Possibly you could check your code and see how you are making and calling the indexes. Remember that your cursor (SELECT .... into MyCursor) isn't 'MyCursor' on the disk, but '0239847.tmp' or something similar. You're using an alias. Be sure your index name is the same as the cursor.
