a question about Refresh 1

[VickyC]

hello

I often see code like this...

Set ind = tdf.CreateIndex(strIdxName)
    ind.Fields.Append ind.CreateField(strFldName)
    tdf.Indexes.Append ind
    tdf.Indexes.[b][u]Refresh[/u][/b]

The same is seen when changing a field name, adding a field, etc.

Is the Refresh only useful for displaying updates, or could errors be introduced by NOT using Refresh? In other words, could NOT refreshing introduce errors in any code that follows by using 'old' non-updated values? Just wondering.

The Refresh method is not mandatory.
Its main purpose is to commit the changes made on the collection to other users.

Hope This Helps, PH.
