Look at the ADOX.Column object and its Type property.  (I haven't used it to
actually *change* the data type of a column, but I assume it would work OK).

The leap from a Long Int to a Double seems like a strange one.  If you only
need to represent larger values, look into using Decimal or Currency
instead.  Floating point values carry the rounding problems into the natural
number range for large numbers.  Always use a discrete numeric datatype to
represent discrete values.

Subject: Fw: Change Data Type of Access field


Hello All,

Is there a way to change the Data Type of a field in an Access DB,
programmatically? I have a field that is of type "Long Int" that I want to
change to "Double".

Many thanks
