Foxpro got ndx files? I didn't get any of those from my client. :( He's sending me a CD with as he puts it "the whole fool program". So I'll see what's there. I think with all the right files I could get this stuff into Access. At least with your help I got the ODBC thing working and I think I'd quicker understand Aramaic than those ODBC driver things.
