Craig,

I don't know how to supress it, but I know how to work around it. I don't think it will by much slower, since VFP is going to make a copy when it converts anyway.

afields(lafields, 'oldTable')
* make sure correct DBC is open...
create table newTable from array lafields
append from oldTable

>I am adding a table that has been created as TYPE FOX2X to a DBC.

>Table Update Warning
>File 'Table.dbf' will be updated to a new file format, making it unreadable to previous versions of FoxPro.
