Subject: Re: Indexing Problem

I figured it out, it was the data, not me. When I would re import the second
time it was bringing back all of the records that were blank in one of the
indexed fields. So I assume when I imported the first time it changed them
to a null value and then when I did it the second time it saw them coming in
as blank. Not sure but I fixed it!
