If all you're doing is field length changes, you can simply modify their database with the ALTER TABLE command:

To change MyField to length 25:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER MyField C(25)

You must have the database opened exclusively.
HTH!

>My users wanted some upgrades made to a vfp EXE I coded for them. The upgrade included some field length changes in some of the tables. The tables are in a Database. Is there a way I can append the old Database to the new upgraded Database so my users can retain their old data?
