>Becky, Dave has offered one approach. However, IF you have the Clipper source code, you can recompile the program so it uses CDX indexes and FPT memo file structure as if the Clipper program were written in Fox2.x. Then you treat the Clipper tables as Fox free tables and VFP works beautifully.

My solutions assumes you cannot change the clipper program in any way.

If you can change the clipper program then my approach is more work than Barbara's method and the data access performance will be better with Barbara's method.

IMHO
CDX files are what set FOX apart from the rest of the xBase crowd.

HTH,
