Creates a new, empty set of DDF files in the location specified by the DdfPath property. It creates this data dictionary
without tables, indexes, or fields for your data. You must add these, using
DdfCreateTable,
DdfAddTableName,
DdfAddTable, and
DdfAddIndex.
The DdfCreateDictionary method syntax has these parts:
DdfCreateDictionary returns a two-byte integer that holds the status of the VAccess control. If this is zero, the operation completed successfully.
DdfCreateDictionary creates FILE.DDF, FIELD.DDF, and INDEX.DDF system files, populates them with self-referential system table definition records, and also creates FIELDEXT.DDF and COMMENT.DDF extended dictionary files.
If a dictionary currently exists in the specified DdfPath, the control will check
bOverwrite to determine if it should delete the current dictionary and rewrite it. If
bOverwrite is
True, the existing dictionary will be irreversibly destroyed.
