In DDL you can only execute one statement per querydef; what you typed isn't allowable.

Is there a method for me to drop two columns in one Statement in SQL for Access?
you can do it in VBA
CurrentDb.Execute "alter table A_Trim drop column Name_First, Name_Last"

Can I do this from the Macro tab under Objects, or does it have to be through a Module. I am gaining speed on how to work with Macros and Modules, so more detail is appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi, not to worry, there is no need. I just saw this after I saw your other post and did wonder why. I appreciate the fact that you recognised my efforts though
