If your extension ends with an x (say, .dmx), then that x will be replaced with a t for the memo file (i.e., .dmt instead of .fpt), but the structural index will be a cdx. You can always
index on field1 tag Tag1 of (forceext(dbf(), "zzc")
and your index file will have the extension of zzc, but it's not a structural index then, and you would have to open it explicitly each time:
use mytable.dmx
set index to mytable.zzc
IOW, it will not open automatically if it's not a .cdx with the same name as the table.
