Guys, Just turn on SQL logging and you will see the answer.
If ARS did what you suggested in the last paragraph, ARS would be a database engine. You can place indexes through ARS (recommended) or directly in the database (not recommended but often done). The effect's the same. Cheers Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect Software Tool House Inc.

I had always assumed that the ARSystem just took the query, then formatted it in TSQL and sent it off to the database engine. If this is the case, then the database engine will follow the query optimizer settings to follow the index trail. If, however, the ARSystem actually does the querying itself (which I had always assumed it hadn't) then that would be a good question for Mr. Mueller.

We have been having an ongoing discussion regarding the use of Indexed fields within a Set Field If Action and/or a Push fields If Action qualification. Here is what we are looking at. You have a form with three indexes, Inx1, Inx2, and Inx3. Either the Set Field If Action or Push fields If Action qualification is set up in this format. Form Field 1 = Database Field 1 AND Form Field 2 = Database Field Inx3 AND Form Field 3 = Database Field Inx1 AND Form Field 4 = Database Field Inx2 The question is does AR Server evaluate the qualification as whole and determine if any of the fields are indexed first and then pull a subset of records to find the last value "Form Field 1 = Database Field 1" or does it build the records sets in the order the Set Field If Action or Push fields If Action qualification is designed. Meaning it first pulls those records in the "Form Field 1 = Database Field 1", then Form Field 2 = Database Field Inx3, and so forth.
