    You could / should sell him a Single User DF19.1 license, and give him an app with VDFQUery in it, so he can reindex himself next time.

    I use DOSBOX for the EXE utilities in general but for reindex (sorting) I use DFSORT.SRC written in dataflex. I compile the .SRC into 3.1d or 3.2 as needed and use the runtime to run it as a .FLX. I use it this way in production for dynamic reindexing as needed in 32 and 64 bit environments.

    Ping me if you need more detail on this.

    What has changed? Which version of Windows? 32 or 64 bit?

    We are using 64 bit in most production environments. The DFSORT.FLX option works well. We wrap it in a batch file to make it look like DFINDEX. We also have a DF console mode program for each table with the proper index structure which we use to drop and rebuild the indexes for any table in question.

    Let me know if you would like any examples

    Where did you find DFSORT.SRC? I don't have it in my SRC folder.

    Mike,

    The original DFSORT is an EXE with an FLX for the UI.

    In 2002 I made a DataFlex source code version based on the SORT command in the runtime. This makes it possible to run it with the console mode runtime.
