Thank you, Borislav.
Now I see that the only reason I need the DBF and Container files is for Stonefield SF Query. Which relies on SDT. So, in order for me to completely get rid of the DBF/DBC files, I will need to convert the SF Query to work with XML files instead. Not a trivial task. But something to consider.
