Adding a table description through code

A

Adam Molinaro

I am creating a table through code, and am trying to add a description as
well. Help referenced the CreateProperty method, but I am unable to find any
mention of table descriptions.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Public Sub AddDescription()

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim prp As DAO.Property

Set db = CurrentDb
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("tblTest")
Set prp = tdf.CreateProperty("Description", dbText, "This is my
description")
tdf.Properties.Append prp

End Sub
