"ALTER TABLE MyTable" & _

Sandhya: If I understand your problem correctly, you want to modify the database schema. You might want to check with an Access programming newsgroup as to how one does that rather than asking in Dick's XL-focused blog.

To query a db schema one would start with the OpenSchema method of a ADO connection. Whether updating the schema uses the same start point is something you will have to investigate yourself.

This does not appear to work for Import Text option. Preserve Column Sort/Filter/Layout is not available, sadly.
