Thanks for that observation. Actually, I see now that none of the links in
the magazine article work anymore. But you're right, that's the MS way. Not
even any breadcrumbs to find our way. But it was from July of 2000, so
perhaps they can be forgiven.

Anyway, I've added that clarification (And thanks to you, Carina) in the
feedback area at the bottom of the online article. And I'll also list the
site's you did find. Finally, here's one more that may help any Access user:
it's a list of various Access resources on the MS site:

Thanks Charlie!

Alas, in typical MS documentation form, that first link is no longer
there.

HOWEVER, the GOOD news is....

THE FOLLOWING WORKED!!!!  Yippeee!!!

(So Bob, it worked... although I used the primary key constraint instead
of NOT NULL.
I can't believe I'd never noticed the "COUNTER" datatype before.

<CFQUERY NAME="CreateTable" datasource="#request.dsn#" DBTYPE="ODBC">
CREATE TABLE Articles
 ( ArticleID COUNTER CONSTRAINT MyPrimaryKey PRIMARY KEY,
   Title TEXT(100),
   URL TEXT(255),
   Summary MEMO,
   ArchiveFlag TEXT(1),
   ArticleType TEXT(20),
   PostDate DATETIME );
</CFQUERY>

FYI, here are the links I've found that still work:
DDL/SQL for Access:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q180841
Create Table:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/office97/xh
tml/output/F1/D2/S5A320.asp

Alter Table:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/office97/xh
tml/output/F1/D2/S5A31A.asp

thx again,
carina
