Dave,

I understand that VFP would be hard pressed to parse the line, but the quotes in the Long File Name portion of the command appear to be superfluous. They are not required according to the help (actually, they are not even suggested). They also can be dispensed with if we use long names involving underscores instead. I think its especially irksome for the language to support things half way.

I mean, I can create table "junk" name "Mikey is not my name" (field1 c(5)) then remove table "mikey is not my name" fails. This command is acceptable remove table mikey_is_not_my_name

So, the create table command probably shouldn't accept quotes in the long name as it lends itself to confusion.
