OverwriteExisting Optional Boolean True if an existing table is overwritten with the new table; otherwise, False. The default value is False.
NewName Optional String The new name for the existing table ( Create is False) or new table ( Create is True). If NewName is not defined and Create is False, the table specified by Name retains its current name. The default value is an empty string ("").
FieldName Optional String The name of a field to change.
NewFieldName Optional String The name of a new field. The field specified by NewFieldName replaces the field specified by FieldName.
Title Optional String The title for the field specified by FieldName.
Width Optional Integer A number that specifies the width of the field specified by FieldName. The default value is 10 for new fields.
Align Optional Integer Specifies how to align the text in the field specified by FieldName. Can be one of the following PjAlignment constants: pjLeft, pjCenter, or pjRight. The default value is pjRight.
ShowInMenu Optional Boolean True if the table name appears in the Tables drop-down menu; otherwise, False. (The Tables drop-down menu is on the VIEW ribbon.) The default value is False.

To make a copy of the active table, see the TableCopy method.

Example

The following example creates a table based on the Task Usage table, includes the Add New Column feature, and adds the table to the Table drop-down menu. The macro adds the Priority field as the second column with a title and width of 12, changes the default date format, and then makes the new table the active view.

Sub CreateNewTaskUsageTable() 
    TableEditEx Name:="Usage", TaskTable:=True, Create:=True, _ 
        NewName:="Priority Tasks", ShowAddNewColumn:=True 
 
    TableEditEx Name:="Priority Tasks", TaskTable:=True, _ 
        NewFieldName:="Priority", Title:="Priority", Width:=12, _ 
        ShowInMenu:=True, DateFormat:=pjDate_mm_dd_yy, _ 
        ColumnPosition:=1 
 
    TableApply "Priority Tasks" 
End Sub
