[AccessD] How to Delete or modify an index in VBA

Not trying to make you look bad, forgive me if I sounded that way. Remember that
there is more than one way to skin a cat. I hear that the help files in 2000+
absolutely stink.

Trying to make me look bad eh?  :)

Actually, I did look and still couldn't easily find the 'drop' feature. I no
longer use the Access 97 help file, but still couldn't seem to find it in
A2K help. Must be my old age.

John,

Fortunately, you don't to remember to look up 'Drop' to find out that it is
used
to delete an index. You can look up 'INDEX' and get the same information.
Glad
to have helped...

Scott,

Thanks!

Just so you know I'm not a real dufuss, I did spend about 1/2 hour chekcing
the online help files , MS knowledge base and some of my other favorite
Access site before posting the question. I seacrhed for 'delete indexes' or
'deleting index" and other variations and still no luck. Had I searched for
'Drop', I would have found it! Oh Well!


Thanks!!!


John

Straight form the Access97 Help file...


Sub DropX1()

	Dim dbs As Database

	' Modify this line to include the path to Northwind
	' on your computer.
	Set dbs = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")

	' Delete NewIndex from the Employees table.
	dbs.Execute "DROP INDEX NewIndex ON Employees;"

	dbs.Close

End Sub

Anyone know how to delete an index in VBA after it's already been added to a
collection.
Another option would be to modify it (add a field) or to set it's Unique
property to false. Any of these would be fine.

I know how to Create an index, just can't delete it. I am using DAO but
could also use ADO if that's the better solution.
