The Jet database engine used by Access supports the ALTER TABLE command. You'll have write and execute it yourself as the DataSet and DataAdapter objects are not intended to change the structure of your database

The syntax of the ALTER TABLE command is straight forward

ALTER TABLE Foo ADD COLUMN Bar TEXT(10
