Creating FoxPro Tables With Database Desktop

I am trying to create FoxPro tables with the Database Desktop that comes
with Delphi 4. I have searched the on-line help but cannot find any info on
how to do this. Here is what I have tried:

First I create a database alias and select FOXPRO for the driver type.

Then I try to create a new table and select FOXPRO for the table type.

Next, when I try to save the table I get the following error message,
"Error - Capability not supported. Alias: FosTest."

Does anyone know how to use the Database Desktop to create FoxPro tables?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

No need to try further. DBD doesn't know of FoxPro since it is an
older, stripped down version of Paradox for Windows. Since
Inprise/Borland sold the Paradox application to Corel, it isn't
updated anymore.

You can fairly easily create FoxPro tables using local SQL. An option
is to use Database Explorer if you don't want to write a program for
it.
