extracting tables from database and variables.

when using this code below that i found on this board, i want it to display the tables that are inside the database and add these to a combo box, which it does but it also adds these to the combo box:

MSysAccessObjects
MSysAccessXML
MSysACEs
MSysObjects
MSysQueries
MSysRelationships

is there any way to make it so that these aren't shown in the database?

Access xp and vb 6 sp5.


Code:

'Add a reference to Microsoft ADO Ext. X.X For DLL And Security
'Add a reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects X.X Library
Option Explicit

Private cat As ADOX.Catalog
Private tbl As ADOX.Table
Private cnn As New ADODB.Connection


Private Sub Form_Load()
Set cat = New ADOX.Catalog
Set tbl = New ADOX.Table

'setup db connection
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathon Vantuyl\Desktop\Roster Manager\jv football.mdb"
Set cat.ActiveConnection = cnn

'loop through all tables, and all fields in each table.
For Each tbl In cat.Tables
cmbRecordSource.AddItem tbl.Name
Next tbl

'close the connection
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub




Also:

is it possible to make it run of from a global variable. i attempt just like replasing the location with the variable name and then it says it cant find the file (but adds the location extension, so its like.......C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathon Vantuyl\Desktop\Roster Manager\database). database is the variables name.

cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathon Vantuyl\Desktop\Roster Manager\jv football.mdb"


One More:

once the database is selected, and then the table, how do i add the colums (fields or whatever they are called) to a list box?



thanks much

Look at my code in Phuties thread a few posts down from this one!!

b :)

thanks but i am having trouble to get it work correctly because i dont need to check if it exist but i know that all the MSYS exist. i just dont want them to show up in the combo box. so if you could provide some code or explain it would help alot. thanks

VB Code:

For Each tbl In cat.Tables
If InStr(UCase(tbl.Name), "MSYS") = 0 Then
               
                 If UCase(tbl.Name) = UCase(sTableName) Then
                        combo1.additem stablename
                        Exit For
                  End If
 
        End If
Next tbl

ok thanks much
