I do  not think this will work any longer because 
A. Indices that point to related records and on related records can not be 
turned off
B. A primary key or in fact any key that is set as unique must have indexing 
turned on

Sometimes it is better to use sql to recreate data file. Now that v16 handles 
blob arrays it is very fast.
