field. Thanks!

No user should have this ability. This is a recipe for disaster!!!!

Anywho, To delete a field you'd do something along the line of

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
set tdf = db.TableDefs ("YourTableName")
tdf.Fields.Delete ("YourFieldName")

or using SQL, something like

Db.Execute "ALTER TABLE YourTableName " & _
"DROP COLUMN YourFieldName;"


As far as resizing a field, check out

But as I stated, this is a very bad idea!!!
