Coding, syntax & commands
Would you mind sharing this process. We are evaluating going to VFP 5 from
FPW 2.6 and are interested in uncovering these sorts of things.

files. Is it safe to assume that .CDX files, open by definition, are
re-indexed?

>Yes, if associated with the packed Table then they are re-indexed. Memo
files are also packed (they can get wild). Please not though the VFP
indexes are not the same indexes your Mom & Dad used to use! <s> VFP Tables
now have backlinks in the header to the DBC, Primary index info is stored in
the DBC, etc. To truly completely reindex you need a third party tool or do
a lot of 'head banging'. It took me at least a week to write a routine.
Learned a lot... <s>
