This of course works, but it's kind of ugly on a Mac, especially if
your users can have many databases, as mine can. I use a one-file
solution, but have a menu called Database Maintenance, and one of the
options is Rebuild Index. When users have problems with finds or
sorts, I tell them to rebuild the index and everything is fine again.
BTW, I've never personally had a crash due to a corrupted index, just
couldn't do searches or sorts properly.
