Same DBF with Harbour / xHarbour applications

[cnavarro]

Has anyone used the same DBFs from different applications made in Harbour and xHarbour at the same time? Have you had any problem with the indexes or of any other kind?

Hi,
I use the same DBF from different application in Network environement .

I am still using NTX and not CDX .

When it is possible a close and open the DBF + NTX after a write process .

I have a DBF with 100 000 records and 5 NTX files and have no corruption .
It is more than 10 years that i not have REINDEX this files.

Anyway, the future is SQL and it is the best think to do .
Realy fast and easy when you have relation between files .
