[AccessD] Renaming a field through code

Rocky,

 I have a routine that I got from you back in 2005, "mod_ModifyTablesFEorBE" 
that I believe will do that. I can send it to you if you want.

Copy of your notes:
**********************
Never mind.  Figured it out.  I have the name and path of the linked
database in a global variable already. So:

Set wrk = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set Db = wrk.OpenDatabase(gstrDatabaseName)

Dim strSql As String
strSql = "ALTER TABLE tblPODetail ALTER COLUMN fldPODPartDescription
TEXT(255);"
Db.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError


works.
