To remove a table from a dictionary, use the DropTable method.
Example
For an example of creating a new DtoTable object, see AddTable method.
Dim dictionary as new DtoDictionary
Dim table as new DtoTable
Dim result as DtoResult
Dim location as string
 
'determine file name of Mytable table
result = dictionary.Open("d:\MyDemodata")
 
For Each table In dictionary.Tables
If table.Name = "Mytable" Then
location = table.Location
End If
next
