   There are numerous structures for Paradox, but these are the most common.   
      
   *.DB - This is the physical table that contains your records.  It looks   
      virtually identical to an Access table.   
      
   *.PX - If the table is keyed (same principle as in Access), there will   
   be a file by the same name as the table with this extension.   
      
   *.XG0, *.YG0, etc. - If there are secondary indexes on the table, there   
   will be files with these or similar extensions.   
      
    From within Paradox Windows, you can open the Project Viewer which   
   lists Tables, Forms, Queries, Reports, etc. just as an MB file in Access   
   will.   
      
   Hope that helps,
