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

With ADO, you can execute a DDL statement to create a field and set its default value.

CurrentProject.Connection.Execute _
   "ALTER TABLE discardme ADD COLUMN membersOnly SHORT DEFAULT 0"
