Niklas: DATABASE files are the 'container' files: DBC, DCT, DCX. TABLES are the DBF files, DBF, FPT, CDX. So if you've only changed the prices in MYTABLE.DBF, then just send the MYTABLE files.

If you've changed the file STRUCTURE - added a field, changed a field length, etc. - then you will need to upgrade the DATABASE.

Hope this helps
