Hi david,

First of all, try to remove that index on deleted(). It probably is only slowing your queries down (Large number of records, only few deleted). That index is absolutely useless in a case you don´t use the COUNT function.

Second, I´ve seen numerous cases where an corruption error was raised, because some obscure unidentified bug in VFP. It was reported in a fresh cursor with an index on it. There was no way this index was corrupted. It was caused by the gui where a grid was involved. I never was able to get a reproducable case to send of to MS.

Walter,
