Here's what I did:

I copied my current DBC to the data directory which contains my old data files. From the VFP command window I opened that DBC and then chose SDT from my Tools menu. I chose a file that was a free table in the old data but had since been added to the DBC. This file DID need a structure change as well. About 10 new fields had been added to it. I clicked on the button 'Update table structure'. The "new format" dialog appeared and the system subsequently crashed on line 344 - "add table (lcFile)". Hope this helps! I have a client waited to be updated...

Thanks,
Elyse
