What is IDX file?
The IDX file extension is a data file type primarily associated with Microsoft Windows. IDX files are indexed files typically used for storing data and quickly retrieving small bits of information. Usually, IDX files can be found in databases, catalogs, and text documents. These files often require a specific software to read the information they store. By organizing the data into a specific format, the IDX file makes the searching process easier. [ ⏩ ] IDX file extension

How to convert the file from TAX to IDX?
To successfully convert the TAX file to IDX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.TAX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case IDX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than IDX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. TAX to IDX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting TAX files to IDX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension IDX, while before this step we had the TAX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new IDX file, or not.
