You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .cdx. Files with the file extension .cdx can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .cdx files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .cdx file?
Files in the CDX format are also called compound index files and are similar to IDX files used by database applications supported by Microsoft Windows. IDX files are on the other hand called compact index files. Leaf nodes in the lower sections of a compound index stored in a CDX file are associated to certain tags in the index, unlike the index of an IDX file. The content of these CDX files are generally indices of data found in a supported database. Microsoft developed the CDX format and the Microsoft Visual FoxPro program, which is an application that can be used to create, open and view the content of a CDX database file for further modification. Users of Microsoft Windows can install the Microsoft Visual FoxPro software to start creating and viewing the content of these CDX files or add content to existing CDX database files. Also, the native index database files implemented by the Microsoft Visual FoxPro software are CDX files with compound indices.
how to open a .cdx file?
Launch a .cdx file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .cdx file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .cdx files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .cdx file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .cdx file will open the correct application.

FoxPro
FoxPro, a procedural programming language and database management system created by Fox Software, has been widely used even before it was turned over to Visual FoxPro. It still enjoys a strong support from its community of programmers and users up to this day. FoxPro versions 2.0, 2.5 and 2.6 are compatible with Mac, DOS and Windows 3.1 to XP. Version 2.6 is compatible also with Linux and Free BSD, SCO Unix and Windows 2000. FoxPro 2 used Rushmore, an optimizing engine that used indices to look for matching expressions, to accelerate data updating and data retrieval. FoxPro 2 was built originally on Watcom C++ that has its own extensor making it the most up-to-date technology at that time. It could access expanded and extended memory making it able to utilize almost all available RAM [DOS]. If HIMEM.SYS is not loaded, FoxPro enabled a mechanism of using interrupts when extended memory driver is absent. File formats associated with FoxPro: ACT [FoxPro Documenting Wizard Action Diagram], APP [FoxPro Generated Application], DBC [FoxPro Database], DBF [Database File], DBF [FoxPro Table], DBG [FoxPro Debugger Configuration], DBT [Database Text File], DCT [FoxPro Database Memo], DCX[FoxPro Database Index], ERR [FoxPro Compilation Error], FKY [FoxPro Macro], FLL [FoxPro Dynamic Link Library], FMT [Foxpro Format File], FPT [FoxPro Table Memo], FRT [FoxPro Report Memo], FRX [FoxPro Report], FXP [FoxPro Compiled Program], LBT [FoxPro Labeled Memo], LBX [FoxPro Label File], LST [FoxPro Documenting Wizard List], MEM [FoxPro Variable File], MNX [FoxPro Menu], MPR [FoxPro Generated Menu Program], MPX [FoxPro Compiled Menu Program], NDX [dBASE Index File], PJX [FoxPro Project], PJT [FoxPro Project Memo], QPR [FoxPro Generated Query Program], QPX [FoxPro Compiled Query Program], VUE [FoxPro 2.x View Settings], WIN [FoxPro Window Settings], TBK [FoxPro Memo Backup], SPR [FoxPro Generated Screen File], SCT [FoxPro Form Memo] and SCX [FoxPro Form].
Visual FoxPro is the object-oriented RDBMS [relational database management system] that enables you to create desktop and Web database solutions. It provides fast application development tools to maximize productivity of applications and components for your database, powerful data management capabilities and flexibility for creating any type of database solution. Its object-oriented, data-centered language lets you create multi-layered, scalable and modern programs that combine server/client computing and the Internet. Visual FoxPro’s event and object models can quickly apply the applications that you have rapidly developed using Visual FoxPro wizards, toolbars, designers and wizards. You also have the advantage to speed up the development of your processes with Visual FoxPro’s Rushmore Query Optimization engine and object-oriented programming properties. You can create your user interface without programming requirements. You can simultaneously access database components, and trace and protect changes made to your source code using sources control programs provided by the Project Manager. You can control other applications using automation, share data and use their materials. Visual FoxPro integrates direct access to native server syntax utilizing SQL pass-through with higher level of support for updatable views of server data. PRG [Visual FoxPro Program File] is the text program file used to create Windows database programs. This file contains one to several commands that instruct Visual FoxPro to load a window or form within the program. It often has a “DO†command. It allows a program to be run within Visual FoxPro. MLB [Visual FoxPro Library] file contains an API that is specifically used for Mac to create database programs using Mac platforms only. It contains a common program code that may be accessed by multiple components of an application. VCX [Visual FoxPro Class Library] file contains a reference table of categories of objects used by Visual FoxPro database.
Advantage Database Server is a client-server data management solution software, which provides data access through SQL or Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM), also referred to as direct navigational commands. It is the solution needed for different types of database applications: standalone database, Internet database and network database. This program features a variety of native development user interfaces that are helpful in giving leverage to users regarding the tools. In addition, this product is designed with zero administration plus stability, security with encryption support, and integrity of data to easily access them via Java, Visual Studio, Visual Objects, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Delphi, as well as mobile devices like Android tablets and smartphones, and iPhone. What this means is that any database accessed and processed through servers won’t be corrupted or damaged. Users are also flexible to work and manage database since this software product uses different platforms of various development languages.
Be careful not to rename the extension on .cdx files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cdx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
