>>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.

Yes, there are some other ways, but "COPY TO" is the easiest and 'natural' way to do it. And you can convert tables programmatically.
If you wish to keep the same index files as in FPD, then you do not need to copy with cdx. IDX files will work in VFP too.
