Right Sylvain.
VFP cant open *.ntx type indexes.
But in clipper5.2e is a dbfndx driver included.
To use the dbfndx driver in clipper:
1 - Place a REQUEST DBFNDX at the beginning of your application
2 - Use RDDSETDEFAULT("DBFNDX") to set the default driver to DBFNDX.
i.e.
REQUEST DBFNDX
RDDSETDEFAULT("DBFNDX")
.
.
.
USE Customers INDEX name,address NEW

3 - Include the library file dbfndx.lib by the compile step.
(Rtlink fi lib dbfndx)

After this steps you can open the clipper .dbf and .ndx file in vfp.
