Dear Iris,

just to add to Fred's posting: since XDS Version June 2, 2008 re-indexing is no 
longer necessary if REFERENCE_DATA_SET is used - XDS then does the re-indexing 
automatically in the CORRECT step. This makes it very easy to avoid the problem 
of alternative indexing in space groups like P3x, P4x , P6x and others.
You should also inspect the top of XSCALE.LP. In case you forgot to use 
REFERENCE_DATA_SET and the wrong setting was picked by chance, you probably see 
some very small correlation coefficients (they should be >0.9, say). There may 
also be a warning message to that effect.

HTH,

Kay
