Hmm... modifying the databse on the fly? Yes, you can do it. But for
the most part, why?
Have a look at the Columns collection of the ADO table object or the
DAO Fields collection of the tabledef object in the help.

If you have access to the database that the linked table is in, modify it there. You can't modify a linked table. Alternatively, you can import the linked table, then it won't be linked any more and you can modify it. There are potential problems with this strategy, as you will be working on a copy of the original table, so any new data that goes into the original table from elsewhere will not be reflected in your database.
