Hi Barbara,

You said that REINDEX was useless.
I **tried** to say that it was really only so when the CDX's first sector (or 2) of data had a problem and that that was rare. I **also** noted that sudden power offs or cable pulls can cause corruption BUT that the liklihood of the first 2 sectors of the CDX being clobbered was low to NIL.

You came back with I still see corruption a lot.
Fine, but what makes you think that REINDEX would fail? How would you know if you don't use it?
Your statement was far too broad and I was trying to narrow it considerably.

DougH said that he's never had a problem with PACK, nor has he heard of one, in 17+ years. Since PACK does use REINDEX I think that speaks for itself.

cheers
