>Is there a way to add all your Free tables to a DBC automatically, or to SDT's meta file automatically? We use only free tables, and I would rather not have to add in each table manually.

Use code similar to the following:

oMeta = newobject('DBCXMgr', 'DBCXMgr', '', .F., '<path to DBCXREG.DBF>',
.T.)
oMeta.Validate('!table1.dbf', 'Table')
oMeta.Validate('!table2.dbf', 'Table')
etc.

You could use ADIR() to get a list of all free tables in a directory and then call Validate in a loop.
