Double-clicking on cretable7.prg in the Navigator should, in fact, bring  
up an error message telling you that the program has to be supplied with a  
table before it can run.

In the navigator, select the folder holding the tables you want to process.

When the dUFLP is properly installed it creates a sourccode alias duflp  
whcih allows you to run cretable7 no matter which folder you want to  
process.

In the command window enter

do :duflp: cretable7 with "*.dbf"

This will create a file cretable.txt which you can examine by entering  
modi comm cretable.txt  in the command window.  You can then edit out any  
unwanted tables.  Alternatively you can process the tables one by one by  
providing the actual .dbf name instead of using the * wildcard.  You can  
then copy and paste the resulting code from the results window to your  
message.   cretable7.prg has a switch which allows one to save the output  
direct to the clipboard but I've found this to be unreliable for multiple  
tables.

To copy the ouput from cretable7 directly to the clipboard enter the  
following in the command window

do :duflp:cretable7 with "mytable.dbf",true

You can now paste the contents of the clipboard where ever you need to.
