>Paulo, you can use Clipper's DBF's as is, but you cannot use NTX files in VFP. You can use your INDEX ON code to rebuild indexes in VFP and even create one .CDX instead of many .NTX

How about keep the Clipper files and their indexes and use local views in your VFP development?? A local view against the Clipper tables, using ODCB to get the data should work..
