Defining Default Value for a Field

[Saulo Eduardo]

Hi buddies,

I'm having troubles to create a table, by a SQL statement, wich one of yours
columns have a default valeu. The statement that I'm executing is something
like this:

create table Table01 ([Field01] long Default 0)

If I remove the "Default 0" part from the SQL statement it works properly
but Field01 is created without a Default Value (In this case, the default
value is 0). Otherwise, it's raise an error.
Has anyone sugestions?

Thanks since now!

From memory, the Default syntax is only partially implemented in Access.

It does not work in the interface (which uses DAO), but you might get it to
work with:
strSql = "create table Table01 ([Field01] long Default 0)"
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSql
