| Ummm.... What you are seeing is how filePro imports or uses records that
| have been previously deleted.

| If you have a file that has no records and import data into it, the
| records will build as you are expecting them to.

| To show what I mean, delete the records in the reverse order that you

| 
| Bingo!!  You are correct and reverse order delete works.
| Have been trying to reverse order Import but that doesn't work.
| Never thought about reverse order Delete.
| Once again, filePro can do it if you give it enough thought or
| talk to enough people

But why does it matter in the slightest which way the items exist in
the key file?
