You cannot send only the table with it's associated files. The database contain also the structure of all the tables that it contain and it would not match the new structure of the table. Also, if the path to the database that reside in the table header is not the same in your developement environment and on the client environment, it will crash.
You have 2 options:
Send a small EXE that will do the structural change to the table with ALTER TABLE-style commands
Use Stonefield Database Toolkit wich have all the necessary tools to do that kind of job (with extras)
Having used option 2 myself, I definitly recommend it.

>I made structural changes to one table in a database, and I want to update the client with these changes. Is it necessary for me to send the database and all the tables, or would it be enough if I send just that one table and it's associated files (.fpt etc.)
