Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of a source to find out more info on the .cdx files that MOM creates? The Help file and user guide do not have anything on the subject. (that I could find) Are .cdx files just a Foxpro thing or do other DB systems use/create them too?

Thanks,

malaize

The .cdx files are the index files for the database table (.dbf) files. If you choose to use the Reindex portion of MOM, then what you are doing is recreating these .cdx files. If you have ever called Dydacomp for support(and survived the lengthy wait on the phone) you very well could have been told to go delete one of the .cdx files as part of the solution. All databases FoxPro or otherwise, have indexes on the tables; how they store them and whether they are expressed as literal files like FoxPro, is a different story.
Ultimately, the .cdx files are very important without them MOM won't run, by the same token, if they become corrputed or you delete one, MOM will recreate the .cdx file when you launch MOM again. I hope this answers your question.

Best,

Ufsimatt
