>Is there a way to view all idx , etc.... associated with a table? I'm trying to clean a very old (2.6) and very large program and I'm not sure what indexes go to which tables. There have been way to many bandaids in this system and everything is everywhere...

Unfortunately, the information, what index belongs to what DBF, isn't stored anywhere in the files themselves (AFAIK). You would have to look in the programs, and search for commands like:
USE (table) INDEX (list)

* or:

USE (table)
SET INDEX TO (list)
FoxPro 2.0 already supported multiple indices in a single file (CDX), so it is a pity that the programmers didn't take advantage of this feature sooner.
