Bernie,

To the best of my knowledge, you end up with a "numbered" table when you have 
an uncompleted "ALTER TABLE" command or perhaps you aborted the table 
definition module.  When you change a table definition RBase first renames the 
existing table to a strange all number or an hexidecimal name. It then copies 
the tables data as changed to the original name.

You may need to run RScope to fix the database or do an unload/reload. You 
would need to edit the unload file to remove the bad table

I found a numbered table that looks like another table.
I renamed it from a number to text
I can't delete it because it has a primary key that it says is referenced.
The new name does not show up as being referenced.

I'd would like to avoid removing the references in other tables (because then I 
would have to put them all back after the table is deleted).

Is there an easier way?
