Multi-part Question:

I have the following file types in my directory that stores databases/tables:

.dbf, .cdx, .fpt, .dpc, .dct, .dcx, and one .idf

The .dbf, .cdx, .fpt, and .idf files appear to be associated with the tables themselves. The .dpc, .dct, and .dcx appear to be associates to the database container.

When I modify a view, table, or index, I am trying to figure out what files I am actually affecting.

I am maintaining three completely seperate databases: One for development with test data, one for a customer demo with demo data, and one for a new install with almost no data. The problem that I am having is when I update lets say a field in a table, I am doing it in the development data and I am not sure which file is changing and then how do I update the other development sets.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I also want to say thanks for all of the responses that I have recieved on my other quesitons. The support from these forums is great!
