SQL to add column with default value - Access 2003

Question

Updating an old ASP/Access site for a client - I need SQL to add a column to an existing table and set a default value. Doesn\'t work - any ideas?

This works fine

Answer 1

Tools -> Options -> Tables/Queries -> (At the bottom right:) Sql Server Compatible Syntax - turn option on for this database.

then you can execute your query:

ALTER TABLE documents ADD COLUMN membersOnly NUMBER DEFAULT 0
