Then you may use VFP ability to work with tables for FPD.
In VFP:
1. use table_dos
2. copy to newtable_name with cdx
*Be sure that index file is actually CDX in FPD: programmers often used simple index file, idx, in the past. Also they often created tables having index file with different names.
*New table you will not be able to open in FPD, but in VFP only.
*Now rename tables as needed.
