| I've got 7 existing tables which I need to make copies of as 'audit tables' plus 2 extra columns for UpdateDate and UpdateType.Also each exsiting table will need 3 triggers for insert, update and delete.Can all this be automated via a MS Acess form?What I want to do is....From a MS Access form, via a dropdown, select a table and a 'type' ('insert', 'update', 'delete') and then from these selctions generate a second table and trigger based on the selected 'type'.I've done the form and have dropdowns for table names and type.I can generate a the trigger part of the script but NOT the 'CREATE TABLE' part, this is where i'm struggling. Many Thanks |

| Creating tables on the fly is a bad idea. It is simply asking for more trouble than you can possibly imagine. I would rethink the design.

here's an app I wrote that will generate scripts for you using SMO. it would be a simple matter to change it (source is available) to add columns dynamically if you know a little C# and SMO. however this should never be part of a runtime system. It's only meant for generating scripts from existing objects.http://www.elsasoft.org/tools.htm
