Does anyone know how to 'pro-grammatically' create an Attachment Field in an Access Table using DDL? The following Code does NOT add the [Attachments] Field to the [Students] Table. All works well up to that point.

CurrentDb.TableDefs.Delete "Students"

Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "CREATE TABLE [Students] ([ID] COUNTER,[Last Name] VARCHAR(50), " &
"[First Name] VARCHAR(50), [E-mail Address] VARCHAR(50), [Student ID] VARCHAR(20), " &
"[Level] VARCHAR(30), [Room] VARCHAR(20), [Date of Birth] DATETIME, [ID Number] VARCHAR(255), " &
"[Home Phone] VARCHAR(25), [Mobile Phone] VARCHAR(25), [Address] VARCHAR(255), " &
"[City] VARCHAR(50), [State/Province] VARCHAR(50), [ZIP/Postal Code] VARCHAR(15), " & _
"[Country/Region] VARCHAR(50), [Web Page] MEMO, [Notes] MEMO, [Attachments] ATTACHMENT);"

CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "Students", True

Access is not currently supported here on QnA. I'd try asking for help in dedicated forums here.
