Thanks, Dragan. I was a bit confused by that in that the properties are not listed in dbsetprop but referred to in dbgetprop (where, indeed, it says read-only). Well naturally all properties SHOULD be read-only in GET, as you want to know what they are - not change them. SO Help doesn't specifically say "but would be writeable in dbsetprop()". Anyway, I've tried all permutations of setting the prop but, rather than tell me it can't be done, VFP just keeps registering syntax errors, for Godssakes!
I've just experimented and done it 1st time with Alter Table!
