Creating tables in ADO

[cyoconnor]

I swear blind I cannot find how to do this from the MSDN.

>Okay, I've managed to create a table as per Clunietp:

Dim strConnectionStringOfNewDB As String
Dim objCat As ADOX.Catalog

Set objCat = New ADOX.Catalog
strConnectionStringOfNewDB = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Data Source=C:\db.mdb"
objCat.Create strConnectionStringOfNewDB

Set objCat = Nothing

>Now I try to create a table:

cCN.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;"
cCN.Properties("Data Source") = "c:\db.mdb"
cCN.Open

Set cRS = cCN.Execute("CREATE TABLE tblint (anumber TEXT atype TEXT);")

>but it falls over on the SQL!
What am I doing wrong? Perhaps I should have started this app in DAO, but I've come so far I can't let ADO beat me now!

Thanks

why don't you use the code Chris posted here: http://www.vb-world.net/forums/showt...0&pagenumber=2 ??

Anyways, using your method, where are your connection and recordset objects defined? Why are you trying to return a recordset from a CREATE TABLE statement?

To get your way to work, change this line:

CREATE TABLE tblint (anumber TEXT atype TEXT)

To this:

CREATE TABLE tblint (anumber TEXT, atype TEXT)

You forgot the comma.

Because the subject header related to setting database passwords, not creating tables, as did the first few posts, which meant I just skipped over it when searching.

I searched the whole forum for answers to this question. Mustn't be searching hard enough!
