[AccessD] Setting/ retrieving Field properties? Solved! (+code)

Thnx for the replies. I've got it working!
Sub SetAllowZeroLenght(strTablename As String, strFieldName As String, blnValue As Boolean)
   Dim db As DAO.Database
   Dim intI As Integer
   Dim intJ As Integer
   Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
   Dim fLd As DAO.Field
   Dim dtmDate As Date
   Dim strValue As String
   
   Set db = CurrentDb()
   
   For intI = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
      Set tdf = db.TableDefs(intI)
      If UCase(tdf.Name) = UCase(strTablename) Then
         dtmDate = Format(Date, "dd mmmm yyyy mm:hh:ss")
         strValue = "Printing properties for table: [" & tdf.Name & "]"
         db.Execute ("INSERT INTO tLog VALUES(#" & dtmDate & "#," & "'" & strValue & "'" & ")")
         Debug.Print "-------------------------------------------------------"
         Debug.Print "Printing properties for table: " & tdf.Name
         Debug.Print "-------------------------------------------------------"
         For intJ = 0 To tdf.Fields.Count - 1
            Set fLd = tdf.Fields(intJ)
            If UCase(fLd.Name) = UCase(strFieldName) Then
               Debug.Print fLd.Name, fLd.AllowZeroLength
               Debug.Print ""
               Exit Sub
            End If
         Next intJ
      End If
   Next intI
End Sub
