Hi James.

>The main issue is that I would like to (within the features of SDT) add the DBC containing the modified tables to my project and SDT meta tables (yes, the code I included does work--I tested it as well) programmatically

Check out the Validate method in the DBCX documentation -- it programmatically adds an object to the meta data tables. To add a database to a project programmatically, open the project in code (MODIFY PROJECT X NOWAIT) and then use the Add method of the Files collection of _VFP.ActiveProject.
