Can't grab description property value for a Linked table

[Rascelon]

I have code that goes through my database objects using ADOX and records table,view or linked table names, columns, data types and descriptions into a table. The code works fine for tables but when I come across a linked table the field description is always blank. I can grab the Linked table name, field name, etc.
but not the .property = "Description" value.
When I open to edit the Linked table the Description field has information.

Does anybody why this is or some kind of work-around?

Hi,

I'm not sure, but you could try to get info from the systemtables like "MSysObjects", or get it from the remote db where the actual tables are.

The following works for me:
MsgBox CurrentDB.TableDefs("myLinkedTable").Properties("Description")

Hope This Helps, PH.
