One handy thing is building a command window simulator into your app. There were some in the files section last I checked. Make a secret key combo pop up the form and then you can do anything you can do from the command window. In your case, you'd want MODIFY STRUCTURE.

This is especially handy when the client's tables are hundreds of megs and the client is a day's drive away. PCAnywhere is slow, but better than a long drive. :)
