I'm trying to create a routine that frees up a table from a DBC programmatically.

Using VFP 6, I issue a "FREE TABLE mytable". This works.

The problem I'm having is that "mytable" has long field names and one index tag that is based on a long field name. The first time I "USE mytable", I get error "Variable 'mylongfieldname' is not found.".

How can I suppress this error message from showing? Or how can I delete the tag(s) and re-create them without user intervention?

Thanks,

Jerryt
