We use the Successware's Six driver and it's .idx driver in Clipper. We have been moving into vfp for about a year now and have been using, at client installations, both the clipper and the vfp applications together. The answer is yes you can but you do need the Six driver and if you're not already using it there may be some significant conversion issues within the clipper program that you may not want to address.

>>>I am the clipper programmer and I want to try with visual foxpro now but I don't want to change all of my database files and also index files but I have some problem about the index files, can Visual Foxpro use the existing Clipper Index files ?

>>dBase index files - yes - Clipper NTX files - no. You will need to rebuild them in VFP. If you have a program in clipper that uses the xBase INDEX ON command - you can use that code in VFP to rebuild the indexes into a CDX file.
