Hi *;
I'm using a *.DBF and *.CDX files to start with. Every time I
run my program I need to create a new database file by a click of a
mouse button and populate it. Within my program I've been trying to
create a new database file. My best attempt has been to copy a blank
*.DBF and *.CDX, using a system command, in order to create a new *.DBF
and *.CDX with a new name. Then I make the "Ttable Active" property
"false", rename the "Ttable TableName" property, and finally I make the
"Ttable Active" property "true". This does not seem to work because as
far as builder is concerned new database files seems to be corrupt. I
need to create the file by getting the system command working or by
another whole new method. I am open to new methods of creating this
file. For anyone who could put me on a track that would lead to the
creation of this file I thank!

Here is an example of what I'm trying now.
This is not working.
I get corrupt files.
String NewFileName;
NewFileName = UserEntered->Text;
system("copy C:\\BlankFile.dbf C:\\NewFileName.dbf");
system("copy C:\\BlankFile.cdx C:\\NewFileName.cdx");
ATable->Active = false;
ATable->TableName = "NewFileName.dbf";
ATable->Active = true;
