Loop thru tables / subdatasheet property check
Is it possible to write something that will loop thru all of my existing tables and set the subdatasheet property to none?
someone else is working on the project with me and has made it a habit to create tables without changing this property. i don't want to have to check them all of the time. I know I can use mSysObjects to return all of the table names but am stuck after that.

And KUDOS for just saying NO to SubDataSheets !!
Might as well throw in this also - just say NO to Zero Length Strings:
Function SSF_TurnOffAllowZeroLenStr
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim prp As DAO.Property
Const conPropName = "AllowZeroLength"
Const conPropValue = False
For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If (tdf.Attributes And dbSystemObject) = 0 Then
Debug.Print tdf.Name
For Each fld In tdf.Fields
If fld.Properties(conPropName
Debug.Print tdf.Name & "." & fld.Name
fld.Properties(conPropName
End If
Next
End If
Next
Set prp = Nothing
Set fld = Nothing
Set tdf = Nothing
MsgBox "Turn off Allow Zero Length String complete."
End Function
