Professional help is really needed

Hi everybody ....

Is there any simple way (or a component in VB 6.0) to
browse the contain of microsoft access database
(tables and fields inside the tables) ?

Let's say I have:

test.mdb
table1
name text(20)
address text(20)
table2
mark number(3)
grade number(3)

When I select test.mdb, I would like to get the information
of table1 and table2 with all the fields inside.

Anyone can help me ? Any idea is appreciated.

Thanks
Keiko

Hi,

Do you mean viewing the structure of the .MDB and the tables?

Please Cleaify.

it depends, are you using ADO or DAO?

DAO:
have a look on tabledef in your help file

ADO:
have look on ADOX-library in help

best regards

Sascha

PS: if you need more info, contact me.

Lyla,
Yes viewing the structure of the .MDB file and tables.
(like in MS-SQL using sp_help)

Sascha,
Using ADO.

Any sample of codes ?

Thank you
Keiko ^_^

keiko,

here is a short example, that reads all field-names,
data-types+sizes and default values from all tables
of an Access-database:

good luck

sascha

'****************************************************

Dim x As New ADOX.Catalog
Dim t As New ADOX.Table
Dim c As New ADOX.Column

' Be sure to create your own Connection-object
Set x.ActiveConnection = GetConnection()

For Each t in x.Tables
Debug.Print t.Name
For Each c In t.Columns
Debug.Print c.Name & ", " & _
c.Type & ", " & _
c.DefinedSize & ", " & _
c.Properties("Default")
Next
Next

Thanks I'll try later.

i forgot to mention that you have to reference the ADOX-library (Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.1 for DDL and Security) within your project. you need at least VB6 + SP3.
