[AccessD] TableDefs.Append issue

Hi all,

I'm writing a tool for a client that requested VB6 FE and Access (2003)
BE.

I need to import some dbf files.
What I've done is create a link to the dbf file using
DAO.TableDefs.Append

Works fine when I step through the code...
Take out the breakpoints and I get 'table cannot be found errors'

It seems that the tdf doesn't refresh quickly enough, I do call refresh
after the append.

What to do?

cheers
