Article ID: Q114728
Creation Date: 10-MAY-1994
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

If a remote index uses more than 10 fields, it is not used by Microsoft Access.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access can only use remote indexes using 10 fields or less.

RESOLUTION

Use remote multiple-field indexes using 10 fields or less.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The only noticeable aspect of Microsoft Access not using a remote index if it uses more than 10 fields would be a slight performance loss. Also, the remote index would not appear in your table's Design view.
