We just recently upgraded from 2.1 to 3.12 and are now running into major indexing problems. We have Novell network and are using the 1.5a NLM. I have had several workstations that were setup for indexing and when they start to index they usually end up with GFE's and locking certain tables. I have disabled indexing on those computers and the GFE's have subsided, but we are still running into indexing problems. I have had to delete and rebuild one table twice because of this problem. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Also if anyone knows how to disable the yes no popup screens that show up when you exit a window that would also be appreciated.

You might try the solution that I just came up with on the problem that I submitted below.
Create a new file. Overwrite the dict file with the original dict file.
Write a routine that does the following
SSelect the old file by @id
readnext by @id
read @record
test for data in a critical field
if data exists then write the record to the new file
repeat until all the records have been tested and written
rename the old file to …_old
rename the new file to the original filename
turn off the indexing
turn on the indexing and index the file
test.
hope this helps. It worked for me.
