    Hi Trivun,

    Although there is more than one program that creates DBF files, I'll assume your DBFs are FoxPro DBFs. There are two types of indexes for FoxPro DBFs. One will have an IDX extension and the other will have a CDX extension. The IDX indexes are seldom used any more so I'll assume you have a CDX file with the same name as the table you want to access.

    The FoxPro data engine will automatically make use of any indexes that are appropriate depending on the expressions in the Join or Where clauses of your SQL statement.

    Can you give more details about your situation
