At the end it would create the indexes for the first table I created, but then fail for al the next. Eventually I figured out that the index name (behind the scenes) need to be unique within the whole database. Therefore I just added a string of the table number into the middle of the Index name. Tried it at front and that failed. All these little gotchas. I really didn’t want to sit and read SQL books for a week that may or may not explain these issues. Thanks for your help - it is working!! Pat: I am using 16R6. I tried creating a trigger in the tables that I created using SQL. I can go in and write code in the table triggers. They are saved. I didn’t see if they actually ran though. Maybe 4D resolved this issue. Thanks all Now on to having the method write all our standard code around a table that our shell has.
