+datafile.<br><br>
+This method also updates any open indexes associated with the database.<br><br>

+<h3>Method xbShort xbDbf::BlankRecord( void )</h3><br>
+This method overlays the database record buffer with space (0x20)
+CHARacters.  This method is useful for initializing the record buffer.<br>
+<h4>Example Program:</h4>
+See program <A HREF="/XbaseSamples/sample2.cpp">sample2.cpp</A> for an example of

+<hr>
+
+<h3>Method xbShort xbDbf::CloseDatabase( void )</h3><br>

+<br><br>
+The <em>OverLay</em> switch is
+used to determine what to do if a xbDbf file with the same name

+<h3>Method:   xbShort xbDbf::CreateDatabase( char *FileName, 
+  xbSchema *s, xbShort OverLay )</h3><br>
+This method creates an Xbase (.DBF) file with the name
+of FileName and builds the header record with the format as
+defined in the <em>xbSchema</em> parameter.  The <em>OverLay</em> switch is
+used to determine what to do if a xbDbf file with the same name
+already exists.  If <em>OverLay</em> is set to XB_OVERLAY and the file exists, 
+the file is overwritten, otherwise an error is returned.<br><br>
+<em>Overlay Switch</em> is:<br>
+<li>XB_OVERLAY = Overlay file if it exists<br>
+<li>XB_DONTOVERLAY = Return with error if file exists<br><br>
+<em>xbSchema</em> has the following format:<br>
+<xmp>
+xbSchema MyRecordSchema[] = 
+{
+   { FieldName,  Type, FieldLength, NoOfDecimals },
+   { FieldName2, Type, FieldLength, NoOfDecimals },
+      ...
+   { "",0,0,0 }
+};
+</xmp>
+Where:<br>
+<li><em>FieldName</em> is the name of the data field.<br>
+<li><em>Type</em><br><br>
+<h4>Version 1.7.4 and greater:</h4>
+XB_CHAR_FLD or C<br>
+XB_DATE_FLD or D<br>
+XB_LOGICAL_FLD or L<br>
+XB_MEMO_FLD or M<br>
+XB_FLOAT_FLD or F<br>
+XB_NUMERIC_FLD or N<br><br>
+<li><em>FieldLength</em> is the length of the field.<br>
+<li><em>NoOfDecimals</em> is the number of decimals for NUMERIC fields.<br>
+<br>
+The record buffer is automatically set to spaces when this method is called.
