1) this is a "changeto" query.. it is designed to modify a table, not create a table.. a simple query that does not insert, delete, or changeto, will create an answer table, or other designated table

2) the val file holds certain "validity check" information.. field formatting, lookup table, etc.. that's not ordinarily something you do on the fly.. if you are maing changes of that nature, you need to be sure you SHOULD be making changes of that nature

yes, separate processes could create, then modify, an Answer table.. but honestly, if the app is written that poorly, you'll go around in circles trying to understand it

as for your "changes in how tables work" comment.. no, absolutely not.. over the years, field types have been added, and index functionality has been enhanced.. but the basic functions go all the way back to the beginning
