MDX vs CDX When using Delphi 1 versus Delphi 3??

Senario:

We have some DBFs with CDXs that are shared with Foxpro programs.
When I access these files with Delphi 3 there is no problem. The CDXs
are recognized and used properly.
When I try to access these files with Delphi 1 the BDE(?) is looking for
an MDX file instead.
The majority of the people that will use this application only have
Windows 3.xx.

Question:
Is there any way to get Delphi 1 to recognize the CDXs?

Help??? Please.

No, only in D3..  I would recommend dumping the BDE and using Halcyon or
Advantage Database.. ( not sure if advantage will work in D1, but halcyon
will)
Halcyons address is http://www.grifsolu.com

Gordon,

Advantage does have drivers for all version of Delphi 1,2 and 3.  It also
now includes local drivers so you can test run and deploy your application
in a non client/server environment also.
