You can use local SQL to actually add the column - if there are no constraints etc
"ALTER TABLE "Shared.db" ADD NewField VarChar[25]"
I would tend to look for the field and put the add field code in an except block. Since
it's a shared file you're probably opening it anyway.

Subject: [DUG]: Adding a new column to a db file
I have a program that reads from a shared db file. I need to add a new
column to the table if it is not already in it. Does anyone have a small
sample of how to do this?
