DAO to ADO Tabledef Code

Use this as a query and then act upon the recordset:  select * from information_schema.tables

I'm afraid I don't understand your answer.  

I did find a way to do what I want using AccessObject as follows:

Private Sub cboTables_Enter()
'List all tables in the tables section
  Dim strOutput As String
  Dim obj As AccessObject
  Dim dbs As Object
 
  Set dbs = Application.CurrentData
 
  For Each obj In dbs.AllTables
    'Filter out the system tables
    If InStr(1, obj.Name, "sys", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
     strOutput = strOutput & ";" & obj.Name
    End If
  Next obj
 
  strOutput = Mid(strOutput, 2)
  Me!cboTables.RowSource = strOutput
End Sub

I guess I didn't understand your question then--do you not want to get away from Access objects and use ADO?

Looks like Access Objects work with SQL.  Does your way have advantages?  If so, can you give me more detail as to how I would use it (understanding that I don't know anything about information_schema.tables

Do you have any farther input?  It will probably be useful to me to understand your answer (and exept it as an answer) even if I don't use it in this particular case.  

You wouldn't know anything about replication(-:.  I've have opened another question just begging for an answer.
