Been working in Xbase++ a coupla' weeks now, so I'm a true newbee trying to
convert a very big 20-year-old Clipper app to a 32-bit text only package.

This line fails on the VIA "SIXCDX" -- but works if I remove the VIA and RDD
name.
USE LOCAL ALIAS LOCAL VIA "SIXCDX" EXCLUSIVE NEW

This is what I have used in Clipper to permit running with and without ADS.
Xbase++ lets it pass but I have some doubts about the proper RDD names. Can
anyone guide me here please.
====================
 Check for ADS NLM (client/server capable)
lAXLoaded   := AX_Loaded(AX_GetDrive(cDataPath PLUS "mnames.dbf"))
cDataDriver := if(lAXLoaded, "DBFCDXAX", "SIXCDX")
 Set default replaceable data driver
RDDSetDefault(cDataDriver)

Thanks

SIXCDX is not a supported format FOXCDX is probably the closest.
