[AccessD] Put fieldname into a variable

Hopefully this might help you get started.  Sorry if I am not understanding
your question correctly.

Sub elementsexist()

Set rst = Nothing
Set db = Nothing



Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
db.TableDefs.Refresh
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("tempverify")
Set tdf = db.TableDefs!tempimport

db.TableDefs.Refresh
tdf.Fields.Refresh

For Each fld In tdf.Fields
    myfield = fld.Name
    If fld.Type = 16 Then
        mytype = "dbBigInt"

I would like to put a table's fieldname into a variable, and run code
like the following:

(I've omitted most of the code because of space)

Dim fld as Field

Dim i as Integer



Do until rst.EOF = True

     i = i + 1

     fld = rst![Field" & i & "]

     ... do processing

Loop



Any ideas how this can be done?
