[AccessD] adding field to table via code

Hi Oleg

I can't see why this shouldn't work.
However, you may try this variation:

     Set fld = tbl.CreateField("YourField")
     fld.Type = dbLong
     fld.Attributes = dbAutoIncrField
     tbl.Fields.Append fld

Stepping through the code, which line failes?
