Let me repeat the question more detaily (as I see we did not understand one another). I meant : without reading data from the table. I do not need to read the data I need write the data!

I'm sure now that VFP is unable to do this. It's strange.

> ... but what is the problem opening the table?

???
MEMORY USAGE
DISC USAGE
DELAYS
NETWORK TRAFFIC
...
Enough?


> Basically, you can't change a file without somehow opening it.

1. Open the file "write-only"
2. Enjoy!

PS. I've received the answers from several persons. The answer - to all of them.
