Nevermind. I was doing the delete but wasn't refreshing the DB afterwards
so the link to the table kept{*filter*} around.
Thanks much for your suggestion. I was able to create the table via a
tabledef. Now my problem is I don't know how to delete it. I can delete
the tabledef but it leaves the external table in my current database. Any
suggestions?
