How to fill a column with data in access table via macro
0
I'd like to complete the column with concatenate from other columns in the same table but I get errors. My code is as per below:
Dim tbl2 As DAO.TableDef
Dim db2 As DAO.Database
Dim fld2 As DAO.Field
Set db2 = CurrentDb
Set tbl2 = db2.TableDefs("Table")
With tbl2
Set fld2 = tbl2.CreateField("Concatenate", dbText)
.Fields.Append fld2
'*and below is the part when I get errors on both options:*
fld2.Expression = "Account" & "-" & "Name" '<-- I get an error "Method or data member not found
fld2.Attributes = "Account" & "-" & "Name" '<-- when I change to this I get an error "Type mismatch"
End With
Set fld2 = Nothing
Set tbl2 = Nothing
Set db2 = Nothing
Actually the code works, field is created properly as text, but it doesn't want to complete with values.
Could you help? How to change the code? Both options are wrong !

I think it should be:
fld2.Expression = "[Account]-[Name]"
