Your English is, in general, understandable.

Let me mention one mistake (quite frequent among people who speak Spanish): a row in a table is called a "record", not a "register".

There is also a forum here, "Visual FoxPro - Spanish Edition", where you will usually get replies to your problems.

>Hi all, it´s me again tryn to modify a visual fox project.
>Well, I´ll try to explain what am i doing. Please escuse my spelling but i´m just learniing to speak english.

>A client sent to me a folder that contains many *.dbf, *.dbt and *.ntx files, my client ask me for delete 1700 registers from some selected tables (the *.dbf files) but I only have access to visual fox pro 6.0, and when I try to modify any table, visual fox warn me that if a I open these table I´ll can´t open it with previous versions of visual fox. So, my client develop these project in Clipper, so i´m affraid to modify the tables and then my client can´t work on his project. The tables doesn´t have any relations or integral referency, and there is not an *.DBC file in the main folder there is a *.ntx file and I guess it´s the file to index the tables. What can I do to modify the tables without damage the files and so my client still working on his project.
