Question

I need to create a decimal field in MsAccess 2003 through DAO. How do I do that? Other fields I can create using following codesnippet, but not decimal.

How do I set type, precision and scale?

NOTE : a decimals datatype = 20, but setting a datatype to 20 results in invalid data type

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tbl As TableDef
Dim fld As Field

Set db = CurrentDb

tbl = database.CreateTableDef("Test")
fld = tbl.CreateField( ....   )
Was it helpful?

Solution

It states that decimal is not available in DAO and ADO should be used to create such fields.
