>So the problem more precisely. I have a database with some table in it. I have to "validate" the database programaticaly. I have a table which is deleted by the user accidentally. If I issue VALIDATE DATABASE, it doesnot remove the reference for this table, but REMOVE TABLE cannot remove the reference, because it generates an error, stating that file doesnot exist.

This doesn't work programmatically, but if open DBC, right click on offending table, then choose Delete, then at next prompt choose Delete from disk, it will remove your bad reference from the DBC...
