I see no zero anyplace for me to zero out.  I am, obviously, a little confused here.  Anyway, I thank you for the response as I was holding little hope.  I do hope this gets posted.


type error is exactly the same as you describe.  I I am not sure how to check keys.  The files are not all that large.  The largest would be slightly over 8mb  This is a vanilla installation, just dbase (although fox will work on it). There are no memos.  The largest cdx file is also slightly more than 1mb.  I did check all the file fields necessary to create indexes, in the files that I cannot write to.  I suspect the problem was earlier.  I have no idea how to check an index file, other than to check the fields the index is based on.  As far as I can see they are all working.  This is a real mystery to me.
