'If you are using DAO, you do it like this:

DIM db as dao.database
DIM rs as dao.recordset
DIM S as String
DIM Tablename as String


' For foxpro, you open a directory as the database
Set DB = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:\Directory", False, False, "Foxpro 3.0")

TableName = "SOME_TABLE"

S = "CREATE TABLE "&Tablename & _
" (A TEXT(4), B INTEGER )"

DB.EXECUTE S

' Now that the table is open, write records

Set RS = DB.OpenRecordset(TableName & ".DBF")

rs.addnew
RS!A = "ABCD" ' or RS.FIELDS("A")="ABCD"
RS!B = 5 ' or RS.FIELDS("B")=5
rs.update

' More things...

rs.close
db.close
