If I have a tableA with columns  table_name, column_name , column_value
can I read tableA and use it to add the data items specified in the columns of 
tableA?

For instance:
table_name    col1_name  col1_value  col2_name  col2_value
Employee      emp_name   Joe Smith   birthdate  1/1/50
Employee      emp_name   Steve Jones birthdate  3/10/53
Transaction   Tdate      3/1/2010    Tamount    35.00
Transaction   Tdate      3/1/2010    Tamount    25.00

1) The program would open the table specified in the table_name
(That's the easy part since you can open a table specified by a string)
2) Then append a row to the table with the col1_value assigned to
the column specified in col1_name and the col2_value assigned to the column 
specified in col2_name?  

Normally you know the column_names when you write the program and
code:
Table!Column = Value

But can you update a column not knowing it in advance? I.e. can you dynamically 
compose an sql insert statement and execute it in access?

Thanks,
