You have to create a class and make it OLEPUBLIC to make it an OLE server. You create a public method that would do the ALTER TABLE command. Then you just call that method of the server.

How you create the OLE server instance depends on the language you are trying to call the server from. From VFP and VB you can just CreateObject() the server, in VC++ you call the CreateDispatch() method of a class derived from COleDispatchDriver.

Look in the \vfp\samples\servers folder for some code.
