>We're trying to create a new table from a textbox on a form. We would like the table name to be chosen by a user. Alpha and numeric.

Instead of Juan's solution, try:

CREATE TABLE (thisform.text1.value)    ;
	(Orig_Lata C(3),;
	Term_Lata C(3), ;
	Bill_Dur N(6))

Cause, not only is it faster, but it won't cause a syntax error if you put a space in the filename.
