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:
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)
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.
