Craig,
I have heard that and actually have it here - except - as a new VFP programmer that got even more lost when I tried to learn that and VFP at the same time, I opted to do this app the hard way with JUST VFP. Once I get better at VFP, than most definately I will be using some "tools" to make life easier.
So for this app, I need the old fashion method <grin>.
>>I have a table that is already being used in an installation. I need to modify the table structure to repair a bug and remove an unneeded field. The only way I know how to modify table structures is to use the Project Manager but that is NOT available on the clients site.

>>#1 - How do I change an existing field type from character 15 to integer 4?
>>
>>#2 - How do I remove a field from the a table?

>>#3 - How do I add a field to a table?
>>
>>#4 - I assume I am updating the clients existing database (somehow), but if I make these changes - what do I need to copy to the clients system (.dbc, .exe, ...)?
