I'm new to using the BDE and have got a bit of a problem. What I want
to know is- is it possible to create database files at runtime and can
anyone
tell me how or at least point me at some resources.

Specifically what I'm trying to do is create an MDI application where
most of the child windows are either opening existing flatfile databases or
creating new ones. There are four different kinds tables I want to be able
to create/open, but at design time I cannot know what filenames the
databases will have.

In any case, thanks in advance :p

Run Table.CreateTable method. But first you must have Table.FieldDefs filled
and - if you will use indexes - Table.IndexDefs. You may:

1. Have pattern for this tables you will use (with filled FieldDefs and
IndexDefs), then write DatabaseName and TableName property, and -
CreateTable
2. Fill FieldDefs and IndexDefs in the code.

If you have restricted number of tables, you may use, I suggest you first.
In design-time you may fill table properties, and in code you only write
DatabaseName, TableName and just run CreateTable.

Also try CreateTable+F1 for more details I may forgot.
