My aim is to use FP commands in VB,
Here is my critiria.

Is it possible that a field can be added to a Foxpro DBF which has data.
I tried but in vain, later came to know , it is not possible.
I want a better way of modifying Foxpro DBF structure as well as values in fields from VisualBasic.

How can it be done ?
I thought DDE will be best way. I use Foxpro as Server and VB as client.
Remember , all this I am doing in VB 4 version (16 bit) on win 3.1 without any 32 bit support.

If any better idea pl. suggest.
