DoCmd.CopyObjec t copies data, but I only need structure.
I'm trying to clone several tables in my Access 2003 mdb. The goal is to
link to a series of Excel spreadsheets and then run various action queries
against the data in the linked tables (to massage and import it). Since I
can't run action queries against linked Excel tables, I need to create temp
tables that are clones of the required existing tables in the database then
append everything from the linked tables into the temp tables.
For example:
Dim tdf as TableDef
For Each varTbl In Array("tblThis" , "tblThat", etc.)
strTblxls = varTbl & "_xls")
Set tdf = db.CreateTableD ef(strTblxls)
strLink = "Excel 8.0;DATABASE=" & strTblxls
tdf.Connect = strLink
tdf.SourceTable Name = "strTblxls$ "
db.TableDefs.Ap pend tdf
DoCmd.CopyObjec t, varTbl & "_tmp", acTable, varTbl
db.Execute "qryAppendXlsIn toTmp"
[run business logic here to massage and import data]
Next
I have some control over the naming and format of the spreadsheets (which
are an intermediary between a proprietary DB and Access), so that's why they
mirror the existing tables. The problem is DoCmd.CopyObjec t copies all the
data of the existing table, not just the structure. Is there a way to copy
just the structure of an existing table to and empty table with a "_tmp"
suffix? I could write a bunch of DDL queries, but I'm hoping for an easier
way.
Thanks in advance.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
