Creating Tables and Indexes in Installable ISAM Databases

As noted earlier, for database data sources other than Microsoft Jet, such as FoxPro or dBASE, a “database” is a directory that contains a number of table files; there is no need to create a physical database for these data sources.

You can use DAO to create new tables, fields, and indexes for these external databases. You can’t, however, store QueryDef objects in any database type other than a native Microsoft Jet .mdb file.
