Kevin,

I guess the first question that screamingly leaps at me is why are you sharing tables between Clipper and VFP? Are the tables originally Clipper files? If so, their memo files are DBT files and not FPT files. Additionally, the index files are different as well so unless I'm mistaken I can't see Clipper and VFP successfully sharing indexes. Maybe someone else can chime in about compatibility about using VFP natively against other xbase tables.

If you truly have to share Clipper files between the two languages, I would personally try to find a Clipper ODBC driver that VFP can access the data with.

Laterness,
Jon
