Here is a sample

IF NOT FILE("scaleMessages.dbf")

	CREATE dbf scaleMessages ( ;
	  msgcode c(40),  ;
	  msg c(254), ;
	  action n(1,0), ;
	  scrnmsg n(1,0), ;
	  tickmsg n(1,0), ;
	  applyshipm n(1,0), ;
	  shownow L(1), ;
	  timelogged t(8), ;
	  ticket i(4), ;
	  source c(3), ;
	  truckno c(5) ;
	)
	USE IN scaleMessages 

ENDIF 

>Thanks, but I was hoping to start building the tables programmatically rather than have one living. We distribute this application and I need to create this table on each work station.
