Michael,
Are the meta data tables in the current directory or VFP path? If not, you will need to use the following format -
oMeta = newobject('DBCXMgr', 'DBCXMGR.VCX', '', .F., [directory])
where [directory] is the location of your meta data tables.
I can't find a reference to ccol anywhere in my SDT source so I'm not sure where that is coming from.
