We have a situation where a VFP9 app updates a Clipper DOS DBF. But after the process is done, the last thing that VFP does is shell out to run a Clipper routine that reindexes the table(s).

We are hoping top be able to avoid this last step and just update the Clipper indexes on the fly.

>What exactly do you mean by update? I did a conversion from clipper tables to VFP and at one time had both applications running on the same tables. I did get corruption on some of the data, but very little (only ftp related). In fact the VFP application we are running now, many years later, still have some older tables in use that were originally used in our Clipper app.
