INDEXEXT() returns the default index extension of the driver loaded, not the actual index file extension. If no driver is loaded, ".ntx" is returned. Examples . In this example, INDEXEXT() creates an existence test for the Customer index file independent of the database driver linked into the current program: USE Customer NEW // IF .NOT. FILE("Customer" + INDEXEXT()) INDEX ON CustName TO Customer ENDIF Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
