Accessing Microsoft Access Table Definition

[Michael SL]

I am trying to get the Table Column definitions from a Microsoft Access 2000 database (*.mdb). Using VB with System.Windows. Forms.Form I do the following

Dim OpenDBDialog As New OpenFileDialo
OpenDBDialog.Fi lter = "Database files (*.mdb)|*.mdb
OpenDBDialog.Re storeDirectory = Tru
If OpenDBDialog.Sh owDialog() = DialogResult.OK The
Dim ColumnName As Strin
Dim ii As Intege
Dim jj As Intege
Dim oConn As OleDbConnectio
Dim schemaTable As DataTabl
Dim schemaColumn As DataTabl
Dim sConn As Strin
Dim TableName As Strin

sConn = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data Source=" + OpenDBDialog.Fi leNam
oConn = New OleDbConnection (sConn
oConn.Open(
schemaTable = oConn.GetOleDbS chemaTable(OleD bSchemaGuid.Tab les,
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, "TABLE"}
For ii = 0 To schemaTable.Row s.Count - 1 'Iterate over table
TableName = schemaTable.Row s(ii).Item(2
schemaColumn = oConn.GetOleDbS chemaTable(OleD bSchemaGuid.Col umns,
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, schemaTable.Row s(ii).Item(2), Nothing}
For jj = 0 To schemaColumn.Ro ws.Count - 1 'Iterate over column
ColumnName = schemaColumn.Ro ws(jj).Item(3

Now what I would like is to get the column's Data Type (e.g., AutoNumber, Number, Text, Memo, Date/Time, etc. I think I can decode two or three items from the Columns ItemArray but this does not seem straight forward. I would think that there would be a single value which indicates the Data Type but I have not been able to find it. Anyone know
