Can't ALTER TABLE in ACCESS 2012

Question

I'm trying to alter the table of an access database. I keep getting a syntax error for something I think should be pretty simple.

Here is what I tried to do and the error I am getting.

Answer 1

yes you have syntax error as what access tells you, try this one

ALTER TABLE EMP_2 ADD COLUMN EMP_PCT NUMBER(4);
ALTER TABLE EMP_2 ADD COLUMN PROJ_NUM CHAR(3);

the syntax

ALTER TABLE table {ADD {COLUMN field type[(size)] [NOT NULL] [CONSTRAINT index] |
ALTER COLUMN field type[(size)] |
CONSTRAINT multifieldindex} |
DROP {COLUMN field I CONSTRAINT indexname}}

• ALTER TABLE statement
