I am using Delphi 1.0 on Windows for Workgroups 3.11

How come the DeleteTable() method of TTable does not delete the DB file?
I am creating a temporary table dynamically at run-time and I want to
delete the file when I am finished with it. The CreateTable() method
creates the file but I have to use the DeleteFile() function to delete
it. Is this a bug or the way that the function is supposed to work?

Here is an example of using the Table Delete function . . .Works like a
champ for us:

                with Table1 do {Loop through and Delete all the Temp Tables}
                begin
                        Active := False;
                        if x = 6 then
                                DatabaseName := Session.PrivateDir
                        else
                                DataBaseName := TheAlias;  {TheAlias is defined previously}
                        TableType := ttParadox;
                        case x of
                                1: TableName := 'G_IWSM';
                                2: TableName := 'G_TEMP';
                                3: TableName := 'C_IWSM';
                                4: TableName := 'C_TEMP';
                                5: TableName := 'IWSMCNTR';
                                6: TableName := 'DELPRGRP';
                        end; {case}
                DeleteTable;
                end; {with Table1}

Keys to remember, Make the Active property := False and you must also
Set the TableType.

In article <327E4C48.5...@notes.dola.wa.gov.au>,

It works in my program. Have you closed the table? You can't delete a table
that is open.
