Assign default value when creating table in ACCESS 2003
Is there a way to create a default value for a column when creating a table in ACCESS 2003? the only documentation I can find indicates to use the ALTER TABLE statement, but is there a way to simply assign it when first creating the table? I want the Match column to default to NO. Also, is there a way to tell the process this should also be a checkbox, which by default is no?
strCreateTable = "CREATE TABLE tblTEMPWeeklyApps (Campaign_ID Integer, SSN Text(12), " & _
"Booked Integer, Approved Integer, AppDate Date, Age Integer, " & _
"Reference Text(20), AddrType Integer, DNIS Text(10), AppEID Text(20), " & _
"Match Bit DEFAULT 'No')"

Capricorn, yours was a way to do it, but more complicated than what I needed. But thank you.

i don't think it is fair that you will select a suggestion that only fulfills part of your requirement when there is a complete solution offered.

OH MY GOSH, I completely missed that. You are so correct, I will contact Adminiistration here and get some points moved.

Cap, I have sent a request for attention and am requesting 400 points to be moved to you. I am so very sorry, it has been a long continuous day-night-day and I missed what you were telling me. Your response was the complete answer and does work but in the time alloted to get this out the door I did use the ALTER statement.

Thank you both and Cap, I again apologize as your works and is complete. To be fair, I did give points to DatabaseMX as that was the route I took at the time.
