I am having a tough time create a little routine to rename a table in a database. I want to add a TEMP table to a database of the same structure as one of the existing. Then drop the original table and rename the TEMP table into the original.
Here is what I do:
What am I missing?
Thank you.
Here is what I do:
cTblName = "MyTable" use (cTblName) afields(aDbfStruct) set database to MyDatabase create table TEMP name TEMP from array aDbfStruct close tables drop table (cTblName) rename table ("TEMP") to (cTblName) *-- I was hoping that rename table will rename actual file name *-- but it does not. So I have to do this: rename ("TEMP.DBF") to (cTblName + ".DBF") rename ("TEMP.FPT") to (cTblName + ".FPT")But the table MyTable.DBF is not part of the database after all of that.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
