ADOX add bool field

Something weird I have run into when trying to add a boolean field to an
Access table by code.
-Just wondering if anyone else has run into this. ( vb.net 2005 express )

If I add any other field other than boolean the "command" version of adding
a field works great.
But if I try to add a boolean field, I get an exception error when its
trying to be added, so instead I have to use the function meathod.
-Code is below.

so basically I have to use Columns.Append( blablalblba
instead of the other way.

-All works...but just seemed to be a funny solution and I did tried it by
fluke and waisted a lot of my time trying to figure out why I couldnt add a
logical field.

So at least it will same some other person still trying to use adox. :)

Cheers

Miro

You could probably avoid some of these issues by using Jet SQL.

Thanks,

I saved the link but I am currently in the process of "learning" vb.net
So the adox for now has served its purpose. Now im onto forms and objects
and then
after, the "binded" ( i think thats what you call it ) objects on forms.
Creating a dummy app is the place to make these mystakes. :-)
If I were to do it again, I think I will try to go the Jet SQL way.

Thanks again,

Miro

JetSQL?

fucking dipshits dont use jet for anything.. telling newbies to run
out and learn 2 different dialects of SQL is the most ridiculous thing
i've ever heard.

Dont use MDB for anything
Spit on anyone that still uses it.
