Ken, >> Using old-fashioned Fox, I do the expedient thing and create a unique index on *just that value* spin through the table, and populate the new structures.<<
When you note "unique" indexes I have to think you are referring to the old 2.6 concept of unique indexes, not primary or candidate keys. It is by design and documented that the old unique indexes only record the first instance of an index and skip the other records that eventually are duplicates. FoxPro unique indexes are not.
