Dan,

Check your email as I've mailed you some of the chapter 6 example files I mentioned. They are in an Access mdb. There are some DAO functions that crete and manipulate tables. I would have done it earlier but I've just now been able to get back on the UT.

If memory serves the tricky part of createing a table in DAO is that once you create the table (or any object) you must append them to a collection or Access will not see them. Again, get your hands of the book I mentioned it will prove invaluable.
