Creating new field in code

I am trying to write code to add a field called "Additional" to an existing
table called "Faculty". When I run it as an on click event, it stops at the
line, .append fldTemp with the error message Run-time error '3191': Cannot
define field more than once.

Can someone please point out the error to me.

dixie

Private Sub AddField_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim tdfFaculty As DAO.TableDef
Dim fldTemp As Field

Set dbs = CurrentDb()
Set tdfFaculty = dbs.TableDefs("Faculty")
Set fldTemp = tdfFaculty.CreateField("Additional", dbText, 255)

With tdfFaculty.Fields
.Append fldTemp
End With

End Sub

Answering my own questions AGAIN. There was nothing wrong with the code.
The field was already in the table. :-(

re: Creating new field in code

Did you check the Faculty table to see if the field already exists in the
table? A table can only have one field with a specific name.
