How to Retrieve MaxLength of a Column?

[Mel]

Anyone know how I would retrieve the MaxLength property of a column in
my Access Database table? I know how to retrieve table data, for
example the "Quote #" field in my example code below, but I have never
attempted to access a property of a field.

'Beginning of my Code Example
Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=c:\suppo rt\webbmq.mdb;"
Dim strSel As String = "SELECT * FROM [Quotes] "
Dim conWebOrdNum As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbConnect ion(strConn)
Dim Rec As System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbDataRea der
Dim cmdRead As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbCommand (strSel,
conWebOrdNum)
conWebOrdNum.Op en()
Rec = cmdRead.Execute Reader()
Rec.Read()
Session("OrdNum ") = Rec("Quote #")
Rec.Close()
'End of my Code Example

Nevermind, I figured it out. Here is the code I ended up with.

'Beginning of my Code Example
Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Micro soft.JET.OLEDB. 4.0;Data Source
=" & "c:\support\web bmq.mdb"
Dim strRecQuotes As String = "SELECT * FROM [Quotes];"
Dim conQuotes As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbConnect ion(strConn)
Dim recQuotes As System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbDataRea der
Dim comQuotes As New System.Data.Ole Db.OleDbCommand (strRecQuotes,
conQuotes)
Dim dt As System.Data.Dat aTable

conQuotes.Open( )
recQuotes = comQuotes.Execu teReader()
recQuotes.Read( )

dt = recQuotes.GetSc hemaTable()

'SET THE TEXT BOX MAXLENGTH PROPERTIES TO THE COLUMN LENGTHS DEFINED
IN THE DATABASE
For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
If UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "CUSTOMER" Then
txtCustomer.Max Length = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "PROJECT NAME"
Then
txtProjName.Max Length = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "SHIP TO ADDRESS
1" Then
txtProjAddr1.Ma xLength = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "SHIP TO ADDRESS
2" Then
txtProjAddr2.Ma xLength = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "SHIP TO CITY"
Then
txtProjCity.Max Length = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "SHIP TO ZIPCODE"
Then
txtZip.MaxLengt h = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "CUSCONTACT " Then
txtCusContact.M axLength = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
ElseIf UCase(Trim(dt.R ows(i)("ColumnN ame"))) = "CUSPHONE" Then
txtCusPhone.Max Length = dt.Rows(i)("Col umnSize")
End If
Next
recQuotes.Close ()

If Not comQuotes Is Nothing Then
comQuotes.Dispo se()
End If
If Not recQuotes Is Nothing Then
recQuotes.Close ()
End If
