>>LIKE clause is NOT rushmore optimizable (till VFP 9 if I remember corectly). Also If You want this clause to be optimazable the must change the WHERE condition to match the index. Can You post how the table is indexed?

This type of INDEX may cause trouble. It is not a good idea to INDEX ON TRIM(). If You want the index to be left justified use
INDEX ON PADR(UPPER(ALLTRIM(Company)), 30, " " ) TAG ... where 30 is length of Field Company

As I said LIKE clause is not Rushmore Oprimizable in VFP 8 and below. In VFP 9 it is (AFAIK).

UPDATE: In VFP Like Clause is Rushmore Optimazaple ONLY in this Case

upper(globalnew.Company) LIKE '"+consig+"%'"
