>>I get, not every time, but often enough to cause great concern, an error message that is generated when the BEGIN TRANSACTION statement is issued that some view (not always the same one) of mine has an open non-structural index file open. I do not create any non-structural indexes (implies use of OF CDXfilename in the index command which I never use) for my views and these views are not going to be part of the transaction. I need to get around this error message and let these transactions progress. Private Datasessions, pessimistic buffering, view not part of the update but loaded in the DE and not buffered.

That should be impossible, but should be and reality can be two different things. I build indexes on the fly in only one instance. That's within a self building grid that has searching capabilities. The .MakeIndexes method simply issues an INDEX ON &Something TAG (Something) command and that's it. All other indexes are associated already with the table definitions.
I don't do any indexing within the application anywhere else. These grids are used with view definitions on a couple of forms. No commercial framework but my own developed in house. Yes, you can click on the grid's header but it doesn't index then, the view was already indexed when the grid did it so the tag already exists.
