Greetings,
I'm still using MS Access 2K3 and DAO 3.6 objects (I know, I know, I'm a
dinosaur)...
I'm traversing through the fields of a table to retrieve their data
types, thus,
Dim columntype as variant
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("MyTable")
columncount = tdf.Fields.Count
For i = 0 To columncount
columntype = tdf.Fields(i).Type
Next i
What's happening is that "columntype = tdf.Fields(i).Type" is returning
an integer, i.e, for a field of type "Text", it returns a "10", for a
field of type "Number|Integer", it returns a "7", etc.
Evidently these various data types have associated VB indexes. But I
can't for the life of me find a page anywhere in Help or on the web that
maps these VB integer values to their associated field data types. Help,
anyone? I know, it's probably right under my nose somewhere...

Search help for VarType Constants.
Tom and Stuart have explained how to get these values for yourself.
Here's a bit of code you can use to return the file type names: http://allenbrowne.com/func-06.html
