Years ago I briefly tried doing the same thing with an old system and it was a nightmare.
If I remember correctly, someone had a program that would parse through the foxpro programs and convert all IDXs to CDXs and then create the correct tags. I'm not sure if someone wrote this internally or whether it was a program that I found on leafe.com or somewhere on the Internet. ________________________________ From: Richard Kaye <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 10:50 AM Subject: RE: DBF's, CDX's & IDX's - Oh My... I was just speaking to the ability to use multiple index files at the same time. This is probably why the original dev didn't want to go back and refactor all that code. You've got change all those set index to commands to set order to, make sure all your tags are in the cdx and so on. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: DBF's, CDX's & IDX's - Oh My... Well - the problem is - it's a BIG file in the system - and, this file is already used ALL Over The Place within the EDI processing in our system. My plan was to leave the system and all programs alone - and let them work just they way the are with the older IDX files. But, let VFP automatically update this new CDX file - and then Only access the CDX file explicitly in one program. But, my first test - after attaching the CDX - the older programs crashed - since the "Set Index to" command actually Failed - as I reported below - and, of course, its because I added the CDX. So - at this point - since this problem is so urgent - I'm going to instead create a new look-up file, instead of adding the CDX - since its obviously messing things up... -K- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04421726A9676@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
