Changing a Field's Type?

[Ken Ray]

I'd like to know if there's a way to change a VarChar field to a UShort in
code without having to go to VAPP to do it. I know I can delete the VarChar
field and recreate a new field that's UShort, but I'll lose all the data
currently in that field of the table when I do it, right?

Any suggestions would be appreciated,
