I keep getting an 'out of resource or memeory' error when I am trying to alter a column in a tbale from text to date using:
strSQL = "ALTER TABLE tblSummary ALTER COLUMN DateExpertInstructed DATE"
CurrentDb.Execute (strSQL) .
In order to get round this problem, I want to be able to copy the structure from one table to a new table with new amended field types and then append the data from one table to another using vba. I'm using access 2003.
If you are just doing a one time update, then create the new table using the proper data types, and then append the old table to the new one using the fields you want. Then just run the append query.
create table/append data.
