Trying to determine table columns

What is the query syntax for determining a table's column names in MS Access (I'm using 2003 if it matters)?

I have all the "system" tables (i.e. MSysObjects), but I can't figure how to query for a specified table's columns...

Thanks in advance,

Now I'm thinking the column names may be hidden in the LVProp column of the MSysObjects table for each table...

If I'm headed in the right direction, any clues on iterating through that coulmn (Long Binary Data) to get the table's columns? My first thought is that I'd need some VBA code and can't do it just from a query...
