>That maybe my only choice but a really wanted to avoid it since several of the tables and cdx files are over 1 gig in size.

SWAG. If you feel adventurous, you can try to change table type in the first byte of the table header. It may work or may render your table unusable. You'll have to populate codepage first using cpzero.prg. The code from Re: Is a table part of a dbc? How to?? Message #581845 should give you an idea how to do that.
