indexing trouble

[swf]

I am having trouble with indexing of a portal. first my portal starting showing extra blank records. Now some of my portals are broken with no records showing up. My search of the forum suggests I might need to upgrade from filemaker 8 to 8.2 and the same with filemaker server. Is the right approach? Do I just download the new versions from filemaker or do I need a new cd? It has been working great for over 6 months before this. I upgraded to filemaker 8 about 6 weeks ago.

The 8v2 updaters can be downloaded from filemaker.com, but I don't think that would solve this problem. This sounds more like a relationship problem, or perhaps a corrupt index. Indexes can be rebuilt easily enough by turning indexing off, closing the Define Database dialog, and turning indexing back on. But we probably won't be able to tell if it's a relationship problem without seeing the file or at least seeing what you're using for relational keys. One thing to check is that the corresponding relational keys are of the same type (number, text, etc.)
