What I've done is to separate the keywords into a separate field per keyword and cycle through the indexes for a search. Updateing (or adding records) becomes slow and involves re-indexing if one has more than seven indexes with standard dBase II.4 - I believe III has more capibility for simulataneous indexes. If you find a more elegant method - please tell! -bob bloom
