Proper Code Help

[ineedahelp]

the program listed below runs and does what I want it to when I DO NOT INCLUDE the 2 "close" statements, but it gives me a "Member Not Found" error when I include the lines "fld.close" and "tbl.close". Can anyone tell me if I need these lines as a method of proper coding or have I used them improperly. I really want to understand how to code properly. Thank you for any help!!

Private Sub lstTableList_AfterUpdate()
Dim db As dao.Database
Dim tbl As dao.TableDef
Dim fld As dao.Field
Dim tblClientTable As String

tblClientTable = Forms!frmDailyClient!lstTableList

Debug.Print tblClientTable & "tblclienttable"
mAnswer = MsgBox("Add a field called LS Data?", vbYesNo)
If mAnswer = 6 Then

Set db = CurrentDb()

Set tbl = db.TableDefs(tblClientTable)

' Create field; set its properties; add it to the tabledef
Set fld = tbl.CreateField("LSRate", dbDouble)
tbl.Fields.Append fld
'fld.Close
'tbl.Close
Set fld = Nothing
Set tbl = Nothing
Set db = Nothing

End If

'Me!lstFieldList.Visible = True
'Me!lstFieldList.SetFocus
Me!lstTableList.Visible = False



End Sub

As I understand it, you don't need to close Fields or TableDefs.
A RecordSet built on a TableDef would be different, although, even in that case the close would happen automatically when you set the last object reference to Nothing.

Thank you...I just didn't want to lead to corruption in my database because I didn't follow the proper channels!
