Using OI 3.6.1.

I'm 99.9 % sure that prior to OI 3.6.1 I was able to

create indexes on tables that were attached but in a

different account (previously AREV tables).

Now I can't do it. I tried doing it from SYSPROG acct.

and through both the Database Manager and System Editor.

Any possible way I can create these

indexes without reloading an old AREV system?

I don't think you've ever been able to do this. Just create an application in OI with the same name and do it from there.

Copy the table name from tablename*old_appname to tablename*new_appname. Obviously dictionaries and indexes too. This will give you pointers to the same physical table that look as they belong to different applications. Obviously, then there is the danger of them getting out of sync at some point if you're going to use both the old and new apps to modify the table. 2. Use the copy_table command (or form utility that you can download from this site) to copy the table to a new directory under the new application name. Then from Database manager delete the original table, attach the new one and copy it back to the original directory ( but now under the new app name). Then attach it from there. Now the problem with this is that you won't be able to use the table from the old AREV app. </QUOTE> —- === At 07 AUG 1998 08:37AM Aaron Kaplan wrote: === <QUOTE>Not really.
