Generate Create Table Scripts

[Tom Collins]

I'm looking for code that will automatically generate a Create Table script
for each of my Access tables. When I export my tables to text, I want to be
able to re-import them with a minimum of fuss.
I tried a Google search with no results.

Thanks.

If you are importing in text, you do not need to create a table first. Use
Import Specifications to create your table layout and import using those
specs. You can then use code or macros to automatically import, depending on
what you are comfortable with.

Import Specs can be found when importing text, go to the advanced tab or
save your import just before completing.

If it was just one or 2 tables, that would be fine. But I have about 50
tables. Also, they won't be loaded into the same database so I still won't
have the import specs. Thanks anyway.

No one else knows of how to do this?
What I'm asking for is basically the same as SQL Server has built-in. I
could easily write my own in a few hours, but I thought for sure someone
else must have already done it.

A quick answer would be most appreciated.

If I recall correctly, Kliksoft has a product that can do this. Take a look
at http://www.kliksoft.com/

SSW has something as well:

I'd also expect FMS to http://www.fmsinc.com
