SYMPTOMS
The CREATE FROM command incorrectly assumes that the table used to create a new table needs a .dbf extension. For example, when using the following syntax:
CREATE [Table1] FROM [Table2]
Visual FoxPro mistakenly assumes that Table2 needs a .dbf extension added to it. If the file already has an extension, Visual FoxPro 6.0 appends the .dbf extension to the end of the table name; therefore, an error appears.
