SUMMARY
It is possible to link (attach) Clipper .dbf files to a Microsoft Access
database. To do so, link the file as a dBASE IV file. Note, however, the
index may or may not be updatable.
Clipper provides an alternative indexing method (.ntx) to the dBASE
standard (.ndx). The Clipper index format is not recognized by Microsoft
Access; therefore, Microsoft Access cannot update it correctly.
However, if the Clipper application was developed by using the dBASE .ndx
format, Microsoft Access updates the index correctly.
