OleDbException & SQL ADD COLUMN

When updating an access table using the ADD COLUMN sql statement, my routine
may encounter an OleDbException stating that the field already exists. How
can I test for this error to allow the continuation while still catching
other OleDbExceptions?
The only way I can think of is to test for a substring on the message.

ie:

Try
appendcolumcommand
Catch ex As OleDbConnection
**** IF ex is because field already exists ****
Happily continue on
**** ELSE ex is another type of OleDbException ****
NotifyUser
Catch ex As Exception
NotifyUser
End Try

TIA,
-Matt

Matthew,

Not that it is important, however because that you are getting no answers, I
really don't understand what other OleDb commands you are talking about.
