I was asked recently about the Note Index field and how it is used and in particular about the Note Index field in SY01500 table in the DYNAMICS system database.  This post will explain how the field is used as well as explain how it is possible to create the conditions that will generate cross linked notes.  Understanding how the conditions can be created will allow you to avoid that situation from occurring.
