To be able to index a table dBASE requires exclusive use of the table. If your user can successfully create the indexes immediately after she has acknowledged the error, place the code that does the indexing in a try...catch...endtry construct.  Something like try    use tablename exclusive    reindex catch(exception e)    //repeat the code   use tablename exclusive   reindex endtry Mervyn.
