If you use the suggestions in a VFP program, maybe use a looping structure in which you process all of the tables, USE each table, use the SYS(14) function to get the index expression of the .idx file, and JUSTFNAME() function to get the name of the .idx file, use that info in creating the .cdx index for the new VFP table, using the name of each .idx file as the name of each TAG in the .cdx file. This way you can automate the entire process of conversion!

>>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.
