Create Access Table in VB

Allows the programmer to create an MS Access table in Visual Basic where the primary key’s field data type is set to AutoNumber. It is not like creating the primary key field in Access where you can select AutoNumber date type. In VB 5 and 6 you can’t request AutoNumber for a field type in the SQL Create Table string, it does not exist. So to create a table in VB where primary key’s numeric field type will be AutoNumber, you have to do it the way the included source code shows. Hope this helps.
