>I'd like to be able to alter the properties of a free table I'm creating programatically. I want to hide it and make it read only. I also want to be able to change the read only attribute when I want to append records to it and them change it back again after appending. Can anyone suggest a way of simple doing this please.
For a quick and dirty solution, use:
run attrib +r MyFile.DBF
