Well long term you're doomed. Sooner rather than later someone is going to need 
the data to be replicated live with a "real" database with "real" tools for 
backup, recovery, off-site fallover. This is just a ruse to push filePro out the 
door. Make the case for fpODBC before they have a replacement strategy underway.

If you don't have permission to add an index, you don't have permission to 
properly administer or consult or whatever they paying you for.

If I didn't know you via this list for over ten years, I'd say this whole thread 
was flamebait.

Good Luck
