Hi all, I have an infrequently recurring problem with a medium sized Paradox table (20,000+ records, 23 Columns) in which the index seems to get corrupted. It then requires the data to be completely flushed out and then re-imported before operation of the application can proceed again without error. Rebuilding the index against on the table with the data still in there doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions? thanks in advance Tony Sinclair Holliday Group Limited Christchurch New Zealand btw: I looked at the maintained property after following Peter Hydes question and that doesn't seem to have any effect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
