Files (Urgent)

Does any body have any sample code to loop through a set of Access tables within a certain directory? I need to be able to loop through all the access tables in the given directory and make changes to certain fields within each table.
Thanks

all access tables inside a database are stored withÃÂ*n a single MDB file.
Thus, after you open it using Opendatabase you can iterate over the tabledefs collection to access all tables in the database.

First, tables are in a database, databeses are in a dir.

If you got multiple tables in one database, use the tabledef to go through them, if you got more databases in one directory, use the dir command.



myDbFile = dir("path","*.mdb")

do while myDbFile <> ""

data1.databasename = myDbFile
data1.recordsource = "name_of_tabel"
data1.recordset.refresh

data1.recordset.movefirst

do while not(data1.recordset.eof)

with data1.recordset
.edit
.fields!field_to_modify = "new_value"
.update
.movenext
end with
loop

'check if there are anymore databases to process in the directory
myDbFile = dir

loop
