I'm trying to dialog with a dbf file that comes together with a cdx (index) and an fpt (external memo).My asp pages can query the dbf but I've got 2 orders of problem:
1.How can I manage the external index? I mean, I can't find any primary key inside the dbf, so I've got problems with ASP pages!
2.It might be a specific problem, but in this dbf file memo fields seem to be encoded in some way, instead of text I can only read hundreds of symbols. Is this a standard way of coding memo fields, or this fields have been encoded by the programmer?

Thanks in advance!
