Modifying indexes

Topic group

You can modify an existing index to make it more useful or efficient. For example, if you create a simple index for a dBASE table in the Table designer, you might want to make it a complex index by adding fields or expressions. Or, you might learn after using the index for a while that a different key is more suitable.

To modify an index,

1. Open the table in the Table designer.

• Choose Structure|Manage Indexes. The Manage Indexes dialog box appears.

• Select the index you want to modify, and click the Modify button. The Define Index dialog box appears.

• Make your changes, then choose OK.
