Okay, so I check your project attached to 1675

------------------------------------------------
  // create a database
  theDatabaseFile = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("TestDatabase1")
  if theDatabaseFile.Exists then theDatabaseFile.Delete // delete the file
if it already exists
  TestDatabase1 = New myDatabase
  TestDatabase1.Create(theDatabaseFile, EVDbMode.kDscDatBlbInd, 32 * 1024)
  
  // create a second database
  theDatabaseFile = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("TestDatabase2")
  if theDatabaseFile.Exists then theDatabaseFile.Delete // delete the file
if it already exists
  TestDatabase2 = New myDatabase
  TestDatabase2.Create(theDatabaseFile, EVDbMode.kDscDatBlbInd, 32 * 1024)
------------------------------------------------

Okay, so you use Class - way

And now you do:
  
------------------------------------------------
  // drop a table from one of the databases
  TestDatabase1.DropTable TestDatabase1.TestTable  <<<< so so, danger

  // and create it again
  TestDatabase1.TestTable = New myTable        <<<<<<<<< WRONG
------------------------------------------------

OPS. This is wrong code of course!!!

You cannot MODIFY so easy structure of db if you use Class way.
Class way -- this is FIXED structure.
Read about this docs.

DropTable, CreateTable() should be used only in API way.
