Index on multiple fields

[Richard Veith]

I am probably missing something, but my version of FilePro, 5.7, seems to
behave differently with respect to multi-field automatic indexes versus
multi-field demand indexes.  With automatic indexes, I can create a
two-field index, and successfully use the Index Selection screen to provide
input for each of the fields, and retrieve exactly what I am looking for
based on the two inputs.   However, with demand indexes, I can create a
two-field index without any complaints from FilePro, but Index Selection
only allows input for the first field, thus defeating the purpose (in my
view) of a two-field index.  Similarly, when using Lookup in a prc program,
on a demand index, it behaves as if the index is only on the first field.

 

Is that the way it is supposed to be?  And if so, why?
