Hi, thanks for your speedy reply,
Yes, you have understood my code correctly, this is the create table
statement, and at the time of execution all column names are known to the
form, I am just unsure as how to get them from the listview to place into a
create table statement, I think I will need some sort of FOR loop to bring
back each line that is in the listview but I am unsure as how to do this.
This is my first time working with listviews and I've searched the internet
and have 7 books from the library on vb.net but none explain how to get
details from a listview, only how to populate it.
I think I worded my original message wrong.
Do you know of a way I could get the details from the listview?
Many thanks for your help

If understand your code correctly, this line creates a table with a
single column.
dbConn.createTable("CREATE TABLE " & tblName & "(" & fldName & " "

fldAttribute & ")")
You describe a user interface to be used to create tables with multiple
columns.
You must do one of two things:
1. delay the create table statement execution until all columns
are
known and can be included inside the parentheses, or
2. perform the create for the first column and then use the alter
table
statement to append remaining columns, perhaps one at a time.
