William,

If you look at an article on my website under Q&A, General, qGEN012 you can see some code that manipulates the DBC fields.

>I am in the process of creating tables in a DBC from a matrix whose structure is very similar to what you get when you do a Copy Structure Extended. In addition to those fields this matrix also contains field descriptions in a non-binary memo field. I did not see any way to load this description data using the Create MyTable1 Database MyDBC From MyMatrixTable technique.

>I noticed that the Field Comments from the VFP Table Designer form are stored in the DBC's Proprty field. So, I wondered if I could match up MyMatrixTable.Field_Name with MyDBC.ObjectName and replace MyDBC.Property with MyMatrixTable.Description. So far I have been unsuccessful. MyDBC.ObjectName is a binary memo field and the Table Designer apparently stores other information in Property besides the Field Comments. All I ended up doing was corrupting the Property field in the DBC. (No damage done. I made a backup copy. And, this is not a production DBC, yet.)
