Using the DBPX Database Driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use Paradox files in a CA-Clipper program:
1. Place REQUEST DBPX at the top of each program file (.prg) that opens
a database file using the DBPX driver.
2. Specify the VIA "DBPX" clause if you open the database file with the
USE command.
-OR-
3. Specify "DBPX" for the <cDriver> argument if you open the database
file with the DBUSEAREA() function.
-OR-
4. Use RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBPX" ) to set the default driver to DBPX.
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 using uppercase letters.
The following program fragments illustrate:
REQUEST DBPX

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

USE Customers INDEX Name, Address NEW
