Question : Using "Select * INTO"  and original table field captions carryover.

Experts,
    Should be an easy one. When you use a "SELECT * INTO ..." statement to create a new table, why dont the original table field captions carryover to the new table (they differ from the field names due to spaces making the forms more understandable)??

Answer : Using "Select * INTO"  and original table field captions carryover.

Yeah it's pretty standard type code to loop through and set the properties you want.

For example to just view one

Debug.Print currentdb.TableDefs("TableName").Fields("FieldName").Properties("Caption")

You could set them the same way
Loop through the fields of the old table - setting the captions in the newly created one.

The only thing to be aware of is that the Caption property doesn't exist when the field has no caption - so you'll be creating the property for each field.
