Can anyone help with this - if I had any hair left I would be pulling it out!

I have a table (FtNote.db) containing 3 fields
LANGUAGE A 2
FOOTNOTE A 3
FOOTDESC M 10

Language and Footnote make up the primary key.

However I keep getting an error "FtNote: No Index for fields FOOTNOTE" on the line I open the FtNote Table.

I have checked the Fields editor to ensure all 3 fields are present and listed correctly. I have also tried removing all 3 fields from the editor, but get the same error.

Can anyone suggest what might be causing the problem?

Thanks

Have you verified the index to ensure that it is up-to-date and that both fields are indeed in it? You should be able to do this by going into Database Desktop.

Have rebuilt and verified the table using Paradox 9.

Have no problems under Paradox.

How are you setting the index? Since it's the primary index, I assume you're using the IndexFieldNames property. Have you tried opening it with the IndexFieldNames blank?
