AllTables object (Access)

The AllTables collection contains an AccessObject for each table in the CurrentData or CodeData object.

Remarks

The CurrentData or CodeData object has an AllTables collection containing AccessObject objects that describe instances of all tables specified by CurrentData or CodeData. For example, you can enumerate the AllTables collection in Visual Basic to set or return the values of properties of individual AccessObject objects in the collection.

Refer to an individual AccessObject object in the AllTables collection either by referring to the object by name, or by referring to its index within the collection. If you want to refer to a specific object in the AllTables collection, it's better to refer to the table by name because a table's collection index may change.

The AllTables collection is indexed beginning with zero. If you refer to a table by its index, the first table is AllTables(0), the second table is AllTables(1), and so on.

Note

To list all open tables in the database, use the IsLoaded property of each AccessObject object in the AllTables collection. You can then use the Name property of each individual AccessObject object to return the name of a table.

You can't add or delete an AccessObject object from the AllTables collection.

Example

The following example prints the name of each open AccessObject object in the AllTables collection.

Sub AllTables() 
 Dim obj As AccessObject, dbs As Object 
 Set dbs = Application.CurrentData 
 ' Search for open AccessObject objects in AllTables collection. 
 For Each obj In dbs.AllTables 
 If obj.IsLoaded = True Then 
 ' Print name of obj. 
 Debug.Print obj.Name 
 End If 
 Next obj 
End Sub
