See my response - there's not much to it, really. You can either move or rename a table (in, for example, Windows Explorer) and any associated files (CDX, FPT). Then you just need to do a VALI DATA RECO or attempt to open the table in the DBC, and you just need to point it to the right file, and the DBC will update itself...

Not totally graceful, but close :)
