Re: How to get field names in MSAccess
Yes you are right - I may have misunderstood.. .I thought what was requested was merely getting column names.. nothing more.. so that was the quick and dirty of it. Depending on what was needed - I thought it may have helped.. I use that quick code if I just need to quickly sniff out the db - didn't know the involvment of what was needed. but yes - everything you say below is true - no argument there.. Joe Eugene wrote: just do a WHERE 0 = 0 This will work for the purpose of getting the schema/columns, but it brings back the entire Table Data.. because 0=0 leads to "TRUE" The query has to lead to "False" like i suggested below. select * from TableName where 1=0; Which leads to false and brings back NO DATA, Just schema(columns). This is not the best way to get Table metaData. You should also be able to get column data types and size limits. This is only possible with using a Java Alernative(Better) or using System Table Information.

RE: How to get field names in MSAccess
Found this old piece of code hope it helps It's bad code, inefficient, not documented... but it worked I think I used it to mimic sp_columns in SQL. I think you have to create a regular DSN for this to work.
