After seeing the other replies to your post I realized you were talking about remote sites.

I must also recommend SDT in this case.
I don't use SDT except on a site where I am constantly doing what you are asking about. it has a lot of features, but this one is the one that makes it worth it to me. The table and view designer are prohibitively slow, so I make all my with the VFP designers and then run SDT UpdateMetadata() method to synch up the metadata.
