Counting Table Fields

[John]

I need to create a function or macro that will count the
number of fields in a table (dynamically, because the user
is going to choose which table) and then set a variable
FieldCount = to that number. I posted a similar question
last week but didn't get a useful response. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

What is the variable "fieldCount" used for?? you declared
the function "getFieldCount" as an integer, and I think
that this is confusing me. I tried the function as you
laid it out and I'm getting errors. Was this a typo or am
I missing the meaning?
