Transferring table Design Changes

Hello Experts,

I am wondering is there a way to easily transfer design changes from one mdb to another, where my mdb copy is a working copy and I want to transfer the table design changes on to the live database.

I know that SQL server you can save the table design changes into a SQL text and run it on the live database, but is there anything like this with Access?

Thank you
Microsoft AccessMicrosoft SQL Server 2008

I do have remote control software, but there are a tons of modifications, so i'll be all night doing them when all go home.

How would  vba code work in modifying fields and adding new.

By the way, i'm using A2007, but the actual file is 2003, and I have access ito 2003, if that helps?

HiTech,

do you need to track your changes, or will it compare automatically?

Thank you, all.

I do document everything, but i think this question got too large than intended.  For larger dbs, i definitely use SQL
Microsoft Access
