If you can, uses:

INDEX ON LEFT(GETWORDNUM(name,1,0h0D,WORSTCASE) FOR UPPER(ALLTRIM(type))=="USERINFO"

>>What is exact index key expression for Userinfo tag? What VFP version/SP are you using?

>>>I inherited the support of an application that is being resold. One of the tables is userdata.dbf. The structure is: type (c,10) id (c,3) name (memo) data (c,50) ckval (n5.0) updated (date). The indexes are ID and USRINFO. USERINFO is a bit complicated. It has an expression MLINE(name,1) and a Filter ALLTRIM(UPPER(type))="USERINFO".

>>>The problem only rises at times - I cannot pin down why, but all my attempts to recreate it have failed. I get Error loading file - record number 5. Baseform1 or one of its members. Loading form or the data environment : Error building key for index "C:\spm\data\userdata.cdx" tag "Userinfo". The error is not tied to a specific form, it gives me the executable line 426. Line 426 of the program that starts the application says Read Events. The lines leading up to this line are:
