>I used to program in Clipper and my recollection is that it is possible to use a CDX driver for their data. This may allow the DBF files to be updated from within Foxpro and have the CDX files automatically updated. I do not have a lot of confidence in this working but I think the technology is available.
Don,
i believe that clipper 5.x had drivers to reference foxpro 2.x files (dbf and idx), not sure about cdx but possible. however, i have not seen updates for drivers to work with VFP files (there is a difference in fox 3.0 DBF header). i would suggest that you check newsgroup for clipper (comp.lang.clipper?). to my knowledge, there has never been such drivers to allow foxpro to access clipper files (dbf/ndx). good hunting!
