Hi Dan
you can also use "run command mycommand" where mycommand is a string
like that :
Dim mycommand as String
mycommand = "Create Table"+chr$(34)+ "mynewtablename"+chr$(34)+"(field1
Char(10)) file"+chr$(34)+ "c:\temp\mynewtablename.TAB"+chr$(34)+" TYPE
NATIVE Charset+chr$(34)+ "WindowsLatin1"+chr$(34)
run command mycommand
The string "mycommand" rebuilt the create table statement but with this
kind of syntax you can specify the parameter you want even to create non
native table like dbf or ascii
I hope this could help you
