It is basically crashing because the fields in the table to be updated do not match the new dbc. This table is not an SDT or VMP system table that is necessary for setup. It is a data table will be utilized when I call an application form.

In addition to the other suggestion about running before you open any other tables, you can determine if any updates exists automatically. Do something like:

IF oMeta.oSDTMgr.NeedUpdate()
oMeta.oSDTMgr.Update()
ENDIF
