Using the default Access DSN in Windows?
I've thought of that but how are you error-trapping/querying the Access-specific Field properties, such as DecimalPlaces?
>I've got a utility program Access Tools that does this. It uses an activeX dll written in VB that you could use from your program. I would be happy to share it with you and how to use it if you wish. Give me an email and let me know.
