Albert, A couple of weeks ago you mentioned that you wanted to try the FoxPro .CDX indexes with dBase. Since then several people have asked me about using dBase to retrieve records from the CD-R's that I put the data on. I had to tell them that I didn't know if it would work, but that I knew who to ask – you I hope. <g> If dBase could use the .CDX indexes to retrieve data from the CD it would be simple to change the .FPT memo files to .DBT memo files (since I only have ascii text in them). That would let my customers choose between FoxPro or dBase to access my data. I'm certainly no fan of anything from MicroSoft myself. I only went with FoxPro because it happened to work with the CD.
