[AccessD] changing Field Size programmatically

Hi.  Anyone know how to do this?...

I have a number of fields, all of them Text data type, in a backend Access 2003 database, that I want to change the Field Size property.

Aside from getting hold of each copy of the mdb file, and manually editing, is there a way I can do this in code from within the Frontend application?

Thanks.

Steve
