   I'm not sure.  I actually commented out this line in one test to see what   
   would happen, and ended up wiping out the field names (to 'Field 001' I think).   
      
   I assumed that since this created a new table, the 'false' value would also.   
    Which kind of makes sense - you're telling it what field names to create   
   - it doesn't match them based on their name (I think).  Though, I'm not 100%   
   sure!  ;)
