Indexed Fields (Completed)

Can I speed up the Find command when there are a large number of records?

In Summer 2004 we added the option to index all data fields. Indexing a field increases the size of the file (by about 40 bytes per record), but it makes the Find command much quicker when you look for data in those fields.

For example, you might want to index the Zip Code field if you have many Customer records, and want to locate customers by their zip code more quickly.
