[AccessD] Re: Create scripts: CreateTable?

Sander,

Here is a little code to get you started.

Sub GetTableStructure(ByVal strTableName As String)
     ' Get the Table structure of a table
     Dim db As DAO.database
     Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
     Set db = CurrentDb()
     Set tdf = db.TableDefs(strTableName)
     Dim fld As DAO.Field
     For Each fld In tdf.Fields
         Debug.Print fld.Name, fld.Type, fld.Size
     Next
     db.Close
     Set db = Nothing
End Sub

This will get the structure of a table you pass in the name of.

I will leave it up to you to write the code to create the text
file you will need for them to import, place in a module, and
run in order to recreate the table structure.

Hint:  Create a table that has every data type in it to see
what the fld.type is returning.
