I am trying to have asp code create a new column automatically into an Access database table.  What would be the correct wording to do this?

Just execute a standard query with a syntax i.e. 


Alter Table tablename add column NewColumnname text(250) NOT NULL
for a new column with the name NewColumnname of the type text with a max lenght of 250 and required (not null). Just alter the syntax to reflect your needs. Having that programatically I'd assume that the column name is dynamic so it'll be something like


<%
Dim strSQL as String


strSQL = "Alter Table tablename add column " & varNewColumn & " text(250) NOT NULL"


%>

Hi Michael,
This is the way it was written originally, but it doesn't work:
Would this be correct?
 
Thank you!!!

re.Open "Alter Table in member Add Column " & PCName & " varchar(50) default None",conn2

sql = "Update member Set " & PCName & " = 'None'"

 re.Open sql,Conn2
  Conn2.Close

 This is the error it produces.  Quite frustrating :(

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'

Syntax error in field definition.

Just wanted to post an update, hopefully this will help others.  I ended up using the code I had, apparently it is correct, but while I was entering the data for the new table, I was using spaces in my text.  I guess it does not like spaces as when I removed them and made it all one long word, it took it fine and created the table.

This is probably common knowledge, but I'm still learning! Confused
