Hello,

How can I change my xBase++ application to use the DBFCDX RDD so the memo
fields are read properly? I tried to change the xBase++ before but had
problems with the memo fields not reading properly when using DBFCDX. Thank
you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

I assume you are using DBFDBE memos and are wanting to convert to FOXDBE???

First off, while I have not tried this and do not recommend this, you can 
probably join DBFDBE with CDXDBE if your only goal is to use CDX indexes.

Otherwise, you need to convert your tables by copying the rows from the original 
table opened with DBFDBE and the new table opened with FOXDBE.  I am sure 
there are multiple code examples available for this, but do not know one 
off the top of my head.
