add table field
Richard,
To open up the backend database, look up the OpenDatabase Method in the help file. To add a field to a table, look up the TableDef Object in the help file. Good luck. -- Sco M.L.

add table field
The fact that you have a need to add a column to a back end table "on the
fly" leads me to believe that you have a spreadsheet that you are calling a table. Under what conditions do you need to add a new column? wrote in message ...
