Well thanks to all of you for your help and advices. What I am trying to
acomplish is that I have about 40 tables that share the same record structure
and I have to open one by one and change their struc (adding some new fields)
the tables must remain separate from each other and then run some other program that will add some more info into them and at the end it will suply me
with a SDF type file for extra processing..
