>We have a company contracted to develop an application for a machine in our shop. They need to read one of my VFP tables by using access. The table is part of a database. He is having problems opening it with access. I have tried to open it too, with no luck. I am setting my index file .cdx, but when I try to open it in access it says "index not found"

I had problems opening DBF files in Excel. It seems that the dBASE format is universally recognized, but the VFP format not, not even by MS products.

Try to:
COPY TO TempFile TYPE FOXPLUS
This file should be readable by Excel or Access.

HTH,

Hilmar.
