Hi,
Is there any way to change value of 'description' field (column) in ms
access tables using scirpts?
I know you can read it using OpenSchema method of ADO Connetcion object but
that's the only thing you can do.

Public Sub ChangeDescrip()

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

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set db = CurrentDb
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("tblTest")
Set fld = tdf.Fields("TestByte")
fld.Properties("Description") = "New Description"

ExitProcedure:
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 3270 Then
'Property not found
Set prp = fld.CreateProperty("Description", dbText, "New
Description")
fld.Properties.Append prp
Else
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
End If
Resume ExitProcedure

End Sub
