We are in Paradox 9. We have a complex Pdox form that includes UTM.DB, a table of UTMs (Universal Transvers Mercators - similar to latitudes and longitudes).
The GIS folks would like for that table to be in dbf format so they could use it directly in ArcGIS without having to convert it.
The table has a primary index number plus a secondary index called LogNum, which is composed of two fields, one numeric and one alpha.
When I try to convert UTM.DB TO UTM.DBF, I get "Error copying index LogNum", "Complex indexes not allowed in dBASE tables."
I restructured UTM.DBF to include a LogNum index. But I can't link it to the main table in the form. The LogNum index doesn't show up.
What can I do to deal with this (other than just telling the GIS people they have to convert each time they want to use the table.)
