>Actually I want to use the .def extension instead of the .dbf extension. Problem is the create command is adding the .dbf. If I JustStem() the filename I will lose the .def, so that won't work. What I am after is "sometable.def" and "sometable.fpt".

Have you tried CREATE TABLE.. FROM ARRAY:

Create Table (lcTable) Free From array gaStru

where gaStru is an array obtained with AFields() on the source table. I did a test for a table with a memo and it does create the base table as .def and the memo has and .fpt extension.
