Program Error -
The name dirtxt is already used for another object. Please choose a different name.

I want to know why I get this error.

Here is my code:
* I am doing a DIR TO command and making the result into a .DBF file.
* Thus, taking a list of files in a directory and putting them in a table.
CD \MYDIR\MYFILES
DIR TO \MYDIR\MYFILES\DIR.TXT

IF FILE('\MYDIR\MYFILES\DIRTXT.DBF')
REMOVE TABLE dirtxt DELETE
ENDIF

CREATE TABLE dirtxt (textline c(80)) && THIS IS WHERE I GET THE ERROR!
...
...
...
* Then I take the table and select it and read it and process the filenames in the DIRTXT table that I create above.

I don't use the name for another object as far as I can tell. Any ideas? THANKS!
