Fields.Append Method
Access Developer Reference |
Adds a new Field to the Fields collection.
Syntax
expression.Append(Object)
expression A variable that represents a Fields object.
Parameters
Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Object | Required | Object | An object variable that represents the field being appended to the collection. |
Remarks
You can use the Append method to add a new table to a database, add a field to a table, and add a field to an index.
The appended object becomes a persistent object, stored on disk, until you delete it by using the Delete method.
The addition of a new object occurs immediately, but you should use the Refresh method on any other collections that may be affected by changes to the database structure.
If the object you're appending isn't complete (such as when you haven't appended any Field objects to a Fields collection of an Index object before it's appended to an Indexes collection) or if the properties set in one or more subordinate objects are incorrect, using the Append method causes an error. For example, if you haven’t specified a field type and then try to append the Field object to the Fields collection in a TableDef object, using the Append method triggers a run-time error.
Example
This example uses either the Append method or the Delete method to modify the Fields collection of a TableDef. The AppendDeleteField procedure is required for this procedure to run.
