Using the DBFCDX Database Driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use FoxPro 2 files in a CA-Clipper program:
1. Place REQUEST DBFCDX at the beginning of your application or at the
top of the first program file (.prg) that opens a database file using
the DBFCDX driver.
2. Specify the VIA "DBFCDX" clause if you open the database file with
the USE command.
-OR-
3. Specify "DBFCDX" for the <cDriver> argument if you open the database
file with the DBUSEAREA() function.
-OR-
4. Use RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBFCDX" ) to set the default driver to DBFCDX.
Except in the case of REQUEST, the RDD name must be a literal
character string or a variable. In all cases it is important that
the driver name be spelled correctly.
The following program fragments illustrate:
REQUEST DBFCDX

USE Customers INDEX Name, Address NEW VIA "DBFCDX"
-OR-
REQUEST DBFCDX
RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBFCDX" )
