I've had this same problem and, with deleted recs, unfortunately they count in uniqueness tests. I suppose the reason is that deleted recs can be recalled (undeleted) at a later date. So, you wouldn't want to recall a rec with a duplicate key, and get violated. Makes sense.

>I am using the VFP tables. I have a situation where, you enter a record and the user enters a unique key. The record is then deleted. Later another record with the same key is entered. an error occurs regarding the uniqueness of the key. Why does this error occur. When I browse the VFP table I do see that the old record is there and marked for deletetion. Is there a way to avoid this problem with out packing and reindexing the table?
