Hi Allan

The way I used to do this was run a short program to change the table at the user site, then distribute a new database with the change to the view.
I saved lots of time and heartache by using SDT to handle the updates. You will need something like this to add your free tables tothe database.

I can run a program that add the new field to the table but when I run the application it comes up with errors when I open the database. I guess because I haven’t updated to database with this new field. How do I update the database?
