Oops, Sorry, its been a while since I've dealt with
extents and qualifiers at the same time.  From Ken's
post I see that I should have said
keyx1[qualifiername] and datax1[qualifiername].  I'm
not sure what you mean by "filex1test" as filepro data
should start with "key" or "data" - unless you have
defined it as a "non-filepro" file.  If that is the
case though you would not be able to use a qualifier,
and I would expect that you would not be able to use
extents either.
