I have many big tables that where imported to Access. Now I want to add the
field description for them.
Is there any easy way to do that?
Thanks.

Open the Table in Design View and you can add Field Description to each
Field.

Thank you,

Maybe i was not clear enough.
I want to add it automaticaly. I have the description in another table (as
records) and i want to add them to the original table. Copy Paste is too much
time consuming (around 2000 fields in several tables)

Thanks.

It can be done, providing there is a way to determine which description
should be used for a specific field. Please provide more information about
table design and contents.

Field Description is an Access Property, not JET Property so you need to use
the CreateProperty method to create the Property "Description".

Check Access VB Help (DAO section) on the CreateProperty method. There are
some sample code in this Help topic also.
