procedure RemoveMDXByte(dbFile: String);
(*
Adapted from Delphi Database Development,
by Ted Blue, John Kaster, Greg Lief, and Loren Scott
page 711
This procedure takes a DBF file name as a parameter. It will patch
the DBF header, so that it no longer requires the MDX file.
*)
const
Value: Byte = 0;
var
F: File of Byte;
begin
try { except }
AssignFile(F, dbFile);
try { finally }
Reset(F);
Seek(F, 28);
Write(F, Value);
finally
CloseFile(F);
end; { try }
except
On E: Exception do
begin
MessageDlg(E.Message, mtError, [mbOK], 0);

I am not a dBase user. Have you tried David's suggestion?
Try posting your question in the desktop.database newsgroup. You are
more likely to find a dBase user there.
