Next question... To avoid having to copy DICT items to all the Part Files each time a change is made, I updated the VOC pointer of each Part File to look at the DICT for the Distributed File. This seemed to work fine for the CREATE.INDEX, and each INDEX.000 record within each of the I_files (one for each Part File) has correct index information for the records within it's part file. >From a Distributed File perspective, does anyone see a problem with changing the DICT pointers for each Part File to look at the DICT of the Distributed File? Each Part File belongs to only this one Distributed File. If not, then how about the Indices themselves when combined with Distributed Files? Would each Part File not using it's own DICT cause a problem? Thanks! -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
